But you could just easily subscribe to all of them. That's not fragmentation.

I've been wondering about that. You know if there's a youtuber with 10 million subs, you'd think they're a big, important star on the platform? And then you find out that youtube gets 80% of their ad revenue from kids watching Baby Shark on a tablet, and your 10 million sub youtuber actually isn't that relevant at all.

Well I was wondering if there's a reddit equivalent to that. Like maybe reddit gets 60% of it's revenue from Indian cricket fans and we don't even know about it. I'm sure sports fans in general are a lucrative userbase. And then places like /r/funny... basically imagine who would be less likely to use an adblocker and old reddit and the app, without caring too much. That's low-effort content that basically runs itself.

At least, that might be what they are gambling on. I do agree with you that the old guard are very important for developing good content. I just don't know if reddit cares about good content anymore.

I think the concept of sexuality needs to go away, tbh. I'm not straight because I am attracted to EVERY guy. And I'm not a lesbian because I am attracted to every woman. So what am I saying when I say that I am straight or gay?

The info I am giving then is who I am NOT attracted to. If I say I'm straight, I'm just saying 'I'm not attracted to women'. I'm not saying 'I'm attracted to every man.'

So I think the concept of sexuality is pretty stupid and everyone should just like whoever they like. It creates a lot of confusion otherwise, with straight and gay people worrying about whether they're 'doing sexuality right'. It's nonsense. Bin it.

You are right actually. I just find myself reloading reddit and the guardian. But the reason for that is that it's hard to find good sites that have constantly updating and changing content. I will try my luck on the fediverse but I'm bummed about it. I hope I find some good stuff here.

For a minority of users on reddit, there's a line. For me, it's forcing me to use new reddit. If that happens, I just have to quit, I can't stand it. I don't want to quit, I have a lot of subreddits I read.

But I saw the stats for the old school users vs new reddit/app users, and we're outnumbered. Reddit knows they might lose thousands of redditors but they don't care because lots will just switch to their toxic app and if they lose 5% of the stubborn old folk then so be it.
