The censorship going on there is crazy. I understand a site needs to tamp down on violent rhetoric but they crossed the line into absurdity. They banned me for calling out the racism in the GOP platform.

Talk about failing to pivot. Reddit was in such a good position to ride the AI bubble. Too bad all of their content had already been scraped. They then alienated their power users and casual users got a peak behind the curtain. New, interesting things don’t start on Reddit anymore. The entire front page is just trump articles and reposts. You can predict all of the top comments because it is the same shit over and over.

Everyone with half a brain knows that enshitification and pandering to CEObro echo chambers result in the platform losing large amounts of users or even dying.
Reddit has it's problems, sure, but I just feel like the fediverse is a fresh of breath air.

Spez fundamentally misunderstands what Reddit is and who it belongs to: the people making the posts and providing the content. The more he alienates the users, the less value Reddit will have. He's shot himself in the foot and he's getting ready to fire again.

Well the ipo brought enshitification at max speed so that’s not surprising. They ostracize and remove users who contributed to communities for a decade+ and then replace the long standing communities with a generic, Reddit controlled alternative that only reposts all time top posts to gain traction. The only thing Reddit has going for it is the user content which is rapidly getting buried under AI slop. Worst of all (for the investor class) you can’t really see Reddit being turned into another right wing cesspool to bait young men into violence with … so there really seems to be less and less reason for Reddit to exist. Let’s hope by 2030 it’s like one of those websites people say “remember when we had Reddit …”
It's not just the AI bubble, it's a distinct lack of faith in Huffman and as a CEO. He's not forward-thinking enough, he hasn't understood where the company's value lies, and he's ridiculously distracted by the latest shiny tech things (reddit NFT avatars, reddit crypto, reddit AI).
I fully expect Google to buy reddit at some point, exclusively harvesting all the info for their search engine, all the content for their AI models, and all the submission/view/voting data for their user profiles (what are you interested in, what do you think of these concepts, where are you connecting from, here are more ads we can send you, and these are arguments that might sway you in purchasing or other decisions).

Lets take a platform driven by community participation and ostracize community users. Yeah that'll work out well.
Reddit getting Digged and me likey.
That is a deep cut reference. They are relaunching as an AI play.
That will bring back the people who were providing the free content.

Aww, did Spez trade the family cow for some "magic" beans?
Good luck rebuilding the farm now, buddy.
My parting message to Spez when I changed all my posts was, "Enjoy the IPO asshat!" While I wish I could update that message, it'll still do. xD
