Bad guys always win outside of movies I guess.
Yep, not an unexpected outcome. Enshittification usually has a direct correlation with profitability; most people simply love being the product, because the alternative takes a little effort.
Reddit is still hot garbage, though, and that fact is only growing worse according to my friend group that still goes there on occasion. I much prefer Fedi.
I was A member for well over 11 years. I handed off subreddits, deleted all my content, then deleted my account.
Never been back other than when it pops up to a very specific question I have. Even then, if I can find the answer somewhere else I will.
That’s lame
I have no clue how people use reddit anymore. If I open the app I am greeted with an unrecognisable mess of stuff I never asked for. Sorting is fucked, my frontpage contains stuff I don’t care for and everything seems to be yelling at me for attention causing me to close the app again.
I remember trying to convince a book sub that “two weeks” is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.
Their argument “don’t come here and you won’t be spoiled”
Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called “thoughts on Wally-Woo’s death”
For me it’s the constant suggestions of other communities and posts on my feed of joined subs.
Next thing I knew my feed was slowly filling up with rage bait, which I never had a problem with a third party app, and I’d close the app angrier and outraged than when I started.
It’s nicer here, lol.
