Reddit has gone downhill for some time now. When I joined that website it was a completely different place, but with time it went to shit.
I remember I joined the piracy subreddit to look for some sources, news, resources, etc. but all that was in the subreddit was memes about how much nintendo sucks lmao
This was a year or two ago
I’ve been an avid redditor since 2010ish. I’ve seen many evolutions of Reddit, third party apps, and many plans to defect. This is my first time defecting though. The official apps and desktop are QUITE far removed from the initial user experience that most of us old-blood had. I think Reddit will survive but I expect them to target gen-pop as opposed to more tech advanced crowd from here on out. Basically a bunch of normie bullshit will flood the site and it won’t be worth sticking around for anyway.
That's seems to be the progression of sites like that. Starts out great but then gets larger and larger until the content quality just isn't the same anymore.
