edgarhThe current state of reddit
LvxferreThis meme made me actually check the front page of Reddit.
It seems that my predictions were right - the amount of content didn’t drop much, but its overall quality and diversity are rock bottom.
jayI feel like the API debacle made me realize I had Stockholm syndrome. I look back and realize I would write and delete comments because I would be sure I’d have another redditor debating or nitpicking something unimportant, a lot of interactions were just antagonistic. Even a good amount of content was kind of boilerplate, a formula of what was going to get the most upvotes.
If i never see a post about people complaining about karma or other meaningless internet points again, it’ll be too soon!
It has been a slow decline, but since they didn’t disable old reddit and 3rd party readers it was able to limp along.
Then they woke up and chose violence.
