    Called it - content quality is dropping down considerably. Eventually not even your typical user (who doesn’t really care about API, mod revolts, etc.) will stay. They’ll simply leave.

      Reddit shat on their content creators and organisers. What did they expect? Reddit could and should be profitable, the fact it’s not shows what a total shitshow it is. Spez clearly lost the poop challenge.

        I can’t stop laughing at the idea of Spez trying the poop challenge. (And failing it every five minutes.)

        I’m pleasantly surprised though that the content quality is dropping really fast. I seriously wish for a failed IPO - Reddit is lost either way, but a failed IPO means that other businesses will think twice before doing the same.

    Yep, this has become reeeaaally visible since a week or two.

    I used to regularly browse reddit without being logged in, it was a way to experience the default reddit experience for my region, see what people from my country would discuss as many French speaking subs were included.

    I could scroll a couple of pages worth of moderately interesting and quite diverse content.

    Now it’s mostly garbage, I barely reach the end of the first page. The diversity and the quality has gone way done, it’s like a distilled facebookesq version of summer reddit.

      Back when Reddit was smaller it’s was pretty good, for the last 5 or so years it’s become too big so all the default subs are just Facebook memes and boomer humour.

      Just look at the damn asklemmy posts about your username or “you’re now catapulted in the last tv series/videogame/movie you’ve seen, how fucked are you?”.

        The German version of that sub has really non-askreddit sounding questions that are actually interesting, so it can work if the mods want to
