I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.
I’ve been noticing this too, it’s really nice. Comments actually matter and you can have discussions. Commenting on a reddit post felt like shouting into the void unless you were in a smaller community.
