I call bs. It's been completely destroyed for a while.
They are in the business of attracting new users into their new algorithmic engagement hellhole now. Show any propensity of interest, and you will get sidetracked to the most godawful side-communities that seem to have emerged to engage as many victims as possible. They do not want to focus on their old users as anything less than the content they already made that makes reddit show up as free advertisement to their new base in search engines. It's all a game of "it's the algorithm's fault so you can't blame us" now.
I agree with you. But what's important is if they can sell anything. They destroyed their own product but they're still pretending it has value, and maybe they can fool some investors into paying for script and AI slop.
I think they're more upset AI companies scraped 'em and they didn't get paid.
They told Google to pound sand and their stock took a hit. Fuck em
While I agree, More celebs than ever have been asking for comments and ideas on their reddit pages.
