That was a good 10+ years ago. Ever since the redesign, the default Reddit experience kept getting more mainstream. Many of us were able to avoid it by using old.reddit and 3rd party mobile apps, but the apiocalypse ended that for most users. Hence, why a good many users joined Lemmy about 6 months ago.
TL:DR- The enshitification of Reddit was a gradual thing that finally reached a tipping point for many here last June.
Recap? Like Facebook?
JFC there was a time reddit would burn the fuck to the ground if devs even proposed such an idea.

I find it cute you’re explaining reddit to me like I wasn’t on it for more than a decade and came to Lemmy in the June exodus lol.
Yeah, I was like who’s that explanation for? Are there people here that weren’t on reddit a year ago?
I like to see the longterm perspective, something that wasn’t always apparent with my daily use and staying on old.reddit
I know, right? That place is definitely not what it used to be. These days it’s a gentrified Disneyland with far shittier mods and admins.
I remember people commenting on other people’s avatars and I was like, wtf are you people talking about?
I miss RIF.
