Curious about if there is any discernable difference anyone can see if they may have popped in to Reddit today? I know it’s probably naive to think there would be a big difference first day.
I deleted rif and never even used other apps or desktop site so I won’t be going back, hense the question to those that are accessing the site.
I disagree with this a little bit. Reddit as a whole had huge value from its content by the users, otherwise it wouldn’t be found at the top of Google searches, used for AI training, and have investors and advertisers interested in the traffic. It had a lot of crap too over time, and the bot and other infiltration didn’t help things. Was it worth 15b, I don’t know, but the simple act of blacking out even a few major subs certainly did make some ripples for having small value.
That is why when Apollo stopped working, I logged in one last time to grab all my “content”, edit everything to say “this content has been deleted by the user in protest for Reddit’s API price changes.” Then deleted everything and left.
Just one user but it was content I created so I get to bring it with me.
Any way, Hi everyone and thank you for this cool place!
