There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Any change today?

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.

reddit will be just fine without you lmfao. the amount of people who chose to leave the platform is several orders of magnitude smaller than the amount of users who will continue using it.

They're not wrong. There's a few hundred thousand active users here. There are 10s of millions on Reddit.

Most Reddit users straight up do not care about the API, or 3rd party apps, or the shitty management of the site. They want their memes, and their niche communities, and their quirky Reddit shit posting, and all of that is still right there.

Users will leave gradually as the ads get more intrusive, and as development moves towards more psychologically manipulative features, and as Reddit cuts costs.

If you're waiting for spez to admit how wrong he was and blah blah, don't. All he cares about is his payday when the site goes public. He'll never admit his decision was wrong because he'll get booted as CEO

Their valuation went from 15bil to 5bil and I fully expect it will be halved again before they, if ever, actually IPO. Reddit already wasn't worth what Spez thought it was and this whole situation is just showing investors it's worth even less if the user base can revolt in the way that it has.

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.
