    Who cares. Reddit is dead to me, and spez murdered it.

    Reddit was amazing. I will always enjoy and fondly remember what it was like before Spez fucked up one of the most reputable cultures and brands in internet history. Fuck that guy… just… what a fucking shithead to destroy something so wonderful.

      I just wanna look at memes, cats, and news and hang out in the comment section without being exposed to ads, is that too much to ask?I hope their IPO sucks and they get shorted i to oblivion while they bleed off users month over month, because thats whats going to happen if they keep pulling this sort of stuff.

      It’s going to take years, but Lemmy will kill Reddit. People like authenticity. Reddit will lose authenticity as it antagonizes its user base through its monetization efforts.

      A core group of people who value that authenticity above all else migrated after Reddit betrayed its values this past summer. They will be the early adopters of this brand new community. It’s happened before on the internet. People hate bullshit. They want to connect with real people that have good intentions and are good faith contributors, free of the influence of investors trying to monetize those relationships.
