I saw a couple days ago they are not even respecting subreddits that were actually private from the beginning. I saw the mod of a private breastfeeding group freaking out because they were going to make the whole thing public.
I’ve been on reddit a long time, over 17 years, and I’m a member of some private subs that happen to have some quite influential users in them. It would be really interesting to open those up to the public to see what reddit influencers are saying in closed spaces, and the amount of gaming etc. that goes on between prominent users you see all across the site.
Admittedly, at least the subs I’m in are relatively quiet these days, but in years gone by they’d basically decide what was going to be popular, who was going to mod which subs etc.
Honestly I think that 90% of reddit never commented and just read stuff so there should be a huge drop off in new comments vs historically, especially in those “popular” subs.

Their tools are just not up to keep track of all these things.
If only someone developed some third-party tools that could better help them with their job…
I literally used the default Reddit app all the time, they made so much ad revenue off of me.
Now they are making none.
Same!
I’m sure opening up all the high-karma-only subs is gonna go over real well.

You can’t just drop this info without giving us the tea. Tell us more.
Each sentence of your made my heart beat faster.

So I assume this means they will open up their shitty lounge that you need Premium to access, right?
The private breastfeeding WHAT? Mother of God, this is vilest of the vile. And, speaking of u/spez, that really is saying something…
