Honestly, it seems what Reddit has been doing lately is far worse than anything Digg ever did. 🤷♂️ Digg basically just made a bunch of bad design decisions primarily but not entirely to please investors, and the majority of changes were not welcomed by the community.
Reddit is straight up disrespecting their userbase and telling them to suck a fat one and deal with it, holding to their miserable decisions while openly suggesting their userbase is too weak to go anywhere else... And also doing so primarily to please misguided investors.
I feel like Splez is dramatically overestimating his position. Pretty wild to tell your most dedicated users to basically fuck off.
Yup. I was a user (different username) since 2008. I haven't been back since June 12. I used Reddit daily. Even on vacation. Even on vacation in Europe when I'd be connected to Wi-Fi.
See ya.
Same, and also an OG Reddit user. My Reddit use has probably went down at least 75% since Apollo stopped functioning. The official app UI is so bad that it’s not even worth me scrolling through all the ads or fighting the horrible layout to try and find the stuff I’m looking for.
I now only check the desktop site maybe once a day. And funnily enough most of my favorite subs have been dead since before July 1st anyway. I would love to see Reddits metrics because there’s no way they haven’t felt this dropoff, even if most of the TikTok crowd continues to consoom the big meme subreddits.
