From the article:
And this bumps up against another part of Cory’s enshittifcation concept: it only works when switching costs are high. Social media can make that work. But I’m not so sure that Reddit has the sheer gravitational pull that social media has. Yes, there are social media-like communities on various subreddits. But, on the whole, the communities are built around topics, and it’s kind of easy to just move elsewhere (again, fediverse options Lemmy and Kbin are already looking pretty nice for that).
I was honestly on the fence about just being a passive consumer and going to the Reddit app until I saw the derision and lying out of spez. Then I realized I could no longer support them with my ad revenue and I haven’t been back on Reddit since (except for muscle memory for the app and then I close it immediately).
