    I love this personally. The admins had a vision for the future that was not based in any form of reality, but rather the same wealth extraction tactics that have collapsed so many other services.

    Anyone who remembers the Digg exodus, there are reflections of that in reddit’s stittastic new policies.

    Just more proof that enshittification isn’t a slow erosion of quality over time but rather direct actions taken by a profit-seeking leadership.

    If you go back now and look in older technically complex threads it is a wasteland of [Deleted] and various account scrubber script Lorem Ipsum as a good chunk of decent contributors have left and burned their accounts.

    Good.

    Looking forward to the day that they don’t prop up google anymore.
