Reddit Was Fun

Reddit’s enshitification has been happening for a long time, and I don’t know if this is the end yet, but I think in a few years when Reddit has died, we will look back at this and say this was the nail in the coffin. I think this will push out the 0.1% of users who generate and moderate the good content, and if/when they go public things will get much much worse. The popular subs will continue to rot and lose the buyers money, so the Reddit admin will be forced to tighten the screws. They’ll force you to have an account to view Reddit, they’ll kill old.reddit, they’ll jam more ads in and kill the 3rd party API completely, even for accessibility apps. My gut says Reddit has like 2 years tops before we consider it “dead” (though will prolly still be up for years)
