Seriously, reddit today is a far cry from what it used to be. I’ll miss reddit but I already miss what reddit used to be more so it’s not going to be as heartbreaking
At the time, when the algorithm started changing and it was obvious that something changed, I was flabbergasted why they would even do that. It was what made reddit what it was. Over the years, I've started to realize that it made sense. News corporations were probably pissed off and bought out the board and capitalism is what lead reddit to what it is now. Sad.
it was also a way to juice the order of posts so they could inject paid ads I to you feeds.
Once an algorithm is abused by the executives it's a predictable social media Startup path, from hyper growth, improved community, VC financex, paid adverts, user revolt, IPO, user exodus, extremists and elderly remain to comment on propaganda and misinformation.
Social media was a bad invention, and we've not found a better way to do it.
Depressingly astute.
