    Exactly. I still occasionally land there due to google searches for obscure tech issues, but that’s only to read and lurk. I used to be a regular poster, (I had ~1.2m karma between all my various accounts) but haven’t even commented since the API lockout.

      Same here. Spend several hours a day on reddit since 2014, but haven’t logged in since the API shutdown. Only the occasional Google search brings me there.

      Damn! That’s an insane amount of dedication lost to greed :(
