To be fair, Reddit has been Zombie Reddit for about 5 years now.
When they received $150 million from Tencent in 2018, the writing was on the wall. You cannot accept that kind of money and keep to the original aspiration. The IPO just accelerated it.
The amount of slop on there nowadays is wild! Even the smallest communities are being overrun with it and they don't give a damn because it is good for business short term.
the downfall is them catering to AI companies for scraping.
That was more a death rattle.
