I barely visit Reddit now, but the odd times I have done, the ratio of signal to noise seems to be the worst it’s ever been.

Increasingly I’m left feeling that what I used to get from Reddit isn’t even there anymore

I don’t really hang out on Reddit anymore; I mostly get the impression that he crushed a mod rebellion from stories like these that refer to a mod rebellion.

He didn’t crush any rebellion?

I still read reddit

I’d say these two comments rather contradict each other. Reddit doesn’t care about the quality, they care about their active user count

People giving up and still adding to that count in large numbers is what “crushing the rebellion” looks like, even if they’re doing it ironically or judgementally

I imagine that this public reddit doesn’t care about that; They are instead interested tn engagement and sinjing to the lowest common denominator. Quality control only matters when it hurts engagement.

If modern social media trends have shown us anything, it’s that content quality could be shit and it doesn’t matter if there will be thousands - if not millions- of people swarming to view it.

Nothing against you btw, it’s just a general frustration I have with trying to move focus away from these sites
