      hilariously on-point video. worth a watch if you have some down time. no mention of reddit alternatives, unfortunately.

      edit: my comment should have been attached to the original post. apparently your comment rendered just as I hit my reply button… and here we are. hello new internet friend!

    I wouldn’t say it’s dead (yet), and if it does die I’m gonna guess it’ll be a slow gradual death.

    Its just my speculation, but Reddit is gonna try do whatever they can to stay afloat (even if everyone leaves). They’re already restoring deleted posts/comments. Next I’m guessing they’ll flood Reddit with bots (bot users, bot posters, etc). Anything to appear “alive”

    But regardless, I’m not going back to Reddit, so at least to me, its dead.

    Yes, lemmy is pretty good quality, we of course need more people to browse new, I hardly ever on Reddit, but when I do it’s shit compared to here 👍

    Not a bad summary. What’s this guy known for? 1.5m views in one day, 13m subscribers?

      He’s a twitch streamer and YouTuber that talks about internet/YouTube drama, tech news, games, whatever. He has pretty good takes most of the time

      He’s known for a lot of commentary videos and being a decent sized streamer.

      He’s got a massive fan base! I hadn’t watched any of his content until more recently, when I stumbled across his high speed car-chase reaction videos. He mainly does commentary, and if you’re into that sorta thing, he seems pretty chill. I still only check out those car chase vids though…

    No, but It Will bleed yo death, as sad as It seems. The fun fact is that Spez is unable to see that he is actively contributing on the Death of Reddit, and of course contributing on the constant grow of the alternatives.

    Lol critical reacting to this is a weird vertigo moment for me. He hit some good points there, if only he mentioned fediverse it would‘ve been perfect.

    I think Reddit will be kept alive by sycophants and bots for a long, long time. However, to me it is dead and gone right now. I‘m not even following links to it anymore, only through archives, can‘t get more dead than that.
