I dunno what it was about reddit. I’ve always hated the level of discourse there. The stupid novelty accounts and the same regurgitated joke replies on every. single. thread. and yet I would still sift through the trash to find the good stuff. Now there’s just no good stuff.
The new thing is where they make it look like a user has commented about the new baconator or having better sex or whatever garbage. It’s enshittification all the way down.
I know posting this on Lemmy is SO BRAVE, but I’m not sure if the low quality of reddit is a result of popularity or something else. I think there is probably a tipping point where the level of discussion reaches the lowest common denominator due to the chasing of upvotes and trying to cater to popular opinion.
It’s the fault of the YOOTHS. Reddit is descended from old style internet forums which typically required a certain level of effort and grammar, but as time went on younger people joined who never had the experience at getting yelled at by grammar Nazis and now just get enticed by actual Nazis.
