they’re definitely going to finally kill old reddit arent they

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

Schrodinger’s old. for me, I haven’t had a reason to check if it still exists, and will never see for myself that it does/has been killed.

AbidanYre ,

Once they killed .compact I was done.

AI to summarize and recommend content, helping users dive deeper into products, shows, games

Notice they don’t talk about hobbies or common interests, just “shit we can sell them”

I’m sure in his wet dreams Reddit is no longer a community site but a thinly veiled astroturfing platform that’s paid billions by large corporations to get their adsposts in front of users.

I mean there had been complaining for years that it was becoming just that; it’s just that they were trying to do it without anyone noticing and then all the tech bros got into a hold-my-beer contest

SlopppyEngineer ,

Yeah, that’s the definition of enshittification.

  • Make a platform that becomes popular
  • Lock in users and start to milk them
  • Use large user base to draw in companies with ads and influence
  • Lock in companies and squeeze them for all their worth

tldr - “Reddit teases features to make the platform even worse”

saltesc ,

Ah, so the bad kind of teasing.

Look, Reddit search is already a shit show. Them overhauling it whatever way can’t possibly make it much worse anyway.

Paid subreddits though. I didn’t know we were already in April.

This is a good thing for the Fediverse.

Cool, fuck off and die.

Some players in the ecosystem have not been transparent with their use of Reddit’s content, and in those instances, we block access to protect Reddit content and user privacy.

Aka “Fuck you, pay me”, at least Reddit is transparent that data is for sale and they think they own it.
