It’s obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It’s a thankless, difficult job that isn’t even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled.
So why stay? Why bother with protests and such when the company has made it clear they don’t value your work or your opinions? Why not just pull out en masse and let the place burn to the ground?
This right here. The only thing that’s remotely useful on Reddit anymore is the large archive of old content; the community is already fractured, and it won’t be long before the only people left on Reddit are the dregs who just want to scroll through the mind-numbing garbage that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
Reddit might already be dead at this point, and I’m not sure that even the hardest backpedals will ever restore the faith they’ve destroyed over the past few weeks.
