about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.

Also, what sub did spez mod in 2008?

    Agreed.

    Someone linked an article from 2019 about the fact that the investors wanted the same returns out of Reddit as in Facebook/instagram.

    If Steve actually was “with” the users and Reddit as a platform he should have told them to eat shit.

    I am quite sure it is the reason why Reddit is heading the way of Facebook/Insta/Tik tok etc.

    And I have zero interest in being a part of it.

      Yeah, Reddit has 0 interest in being Reddit anymore. They want to be tiktok/Instagram (that’s why the video player is fucking trash, they want it to look like tiktok). The thing I don’t understand is those apps are already much larger than Reddit, why would people from those apps ever come to Reddit? And why would you just completely abandon your loyal userbase?
