reddit is transforming itself from a social media platform into a history lesson at this point. I’d say don’t feel guilty if you still browse reddit at all, but don’t be shocked when it’s gone either.

the attitude and behavior of the company towards the community is what’s going to finish it off more than anything.

there’s so other ways they could’ve monetized reddit without causing all this, but they seem hell bent on being obtuse. to that, i shrug and move on.

Honestly I’ve been addicted to reddit for several years, and it even had negative consequences for my life. When I was depressed I just used reddit all day and became obsessed with the subreddit moderated. I deleted that account and now I’m in a much better place but that constant urge to open reddit is still there.

Before July 1 my reddit usage was around 2 hours every day, now it’s been 0 for 5 days.

So I’d like to Thank Reddit admins for this.
