This will not end well. I see a lot of folks who are of the opinion that reddit is “dead”. It is not.
It’s dying… slowly, and painfully. This decline will go on for years. into the endgame of mostly automoderated, bot-driven content.
This seems to be pissbaby’s strategy:
Piss off your most passionate users (those that contribute interesting content frequently), and they leave.
Piss off your most passionate mods, who worked tirelessly to remove links to meatspin and keep the conversation pseudo-human and topical. They leave - replaced by the WORST kind of leaders: powermods with an inferiority complex and no time to care about context.
Force those who remain to use a substandard app - inhibiting human interaction with the platform further.
All you’re left with is content addicts, trolls, ads, dregs from the darkest corners, and bots that feed them.
