I’ve never been sentimental about a social media site but it’s sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It’s just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.
I’ve been there since the Digg Exodus and I am so, so happy that it’s finally ending. It was only ever “good” to the degree that the parent company didn’t give a shit and let us do what we wanted. It’s been gradually changing but I’ve always known that one day, that would change entirely, and so would Reddit.
