The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
I deleted my 12 year old Reddit account, and I’m here. I still go there, but spend minutes rather that hours. I tried Hacker News, but some posts are really technical. I hope this is a new home.
I didn’t delete my account because old reddit is still a thing but yeah, same. I probably spent around 3 hours a day on reddit. Now I’m down to about 20 minutes a week.
Yeah, the only way I end up on Reddit now is through a search engine. I’m not too proud to read an old post but I’m not going to stick around afterward.
