I'm pretty much off reddit entirely. Popped back the other day to ask a question to a sub that doesn't exist here. I'm on this too much anyway but there little to zero content a lot of the time.
I'm trying to think what it is that I used to comment on in reddit. I can post the exact same articles but it's the comments that make the feed and the comments are because of the range of people.
Numbers are what make it good and ultimately bad as well. You need users to create the content but then you get too many and it becomes too big.
Gotta be a sweet spot and ai in all it's magnificence should be able to work it out
Reddit was in that sweet spot from like 2008-2013
I remember the early days where if you found a fellow redditor in the wild it was novel and fun. It felt like we’d found the best thing since sliced bread, and most people still hadn’t heard of it. I never was into the “narwhal bacon” shit, but I definitely had a couple fun interactions overhearing strangers talking about posts and asking (comedically/exaggeratedly) “are you a.. REDDITORE?!”
I only found it 2017 so I must have missed all of it
