The problem with r/all is that iy does not show "all" since a long time.
They removed political spam and porn, but also lots of subreddits opt out to be shown there (e.g. sports subreddits).
As much as I hated the political spam from various TD clones, it is sad that there is no way to see "real" r/all and perhaps one that allows to remove porn and politics.
Yea i also used to enjoy it more when i believed it to be literally "all" - as far as i can tell it's an alternate front page. My wife and i have different /r/all's for example, meaning they seem to rank links similarly to your subscribed frontpage.
The web is far more interesting to me when not curated for what something thinks i want.
