Yes. I loved Reddit for a LONG time. They started to crumble in my opinion when the added these Snooavatars, which later turned into a NFT scheme. I never bothered with these. The promise of the website was awesome though. Being able to follow interests and communities instead of people was a completely new concept, which I had never seen before. Now it feels like the corporate greed has finally completely taken over.
Time to jump ship.
Itβs that exact reason why I could never get into twitter or Instagram beyond personal friends. I want to follow topics, not people.
I had a ton of subreddits curated on my homepage, a lot of which were rather niche. Iβm not super optimistic that most of them will be replaced, which is sad.
