I find it difficult to believe that daily active unique users rose 12% YoY if they're also forecasting that their total DAUs will drop by a small double digit percent in Q4 this year.
Related to people dropping the site, I don't understand how anyone can use the new reddit interface, it sucks so much ass it's amazing. Whose genius idea was it to make default sort include posts from months or even years ago?
I dunno dude, that site has been actively trying to harm itself for a decade. They have backed into success and they keep trying to figure out ways to tank the money printer and nothing works. Every shitty UI update is almost carefully crafted to kill its userbase, people are just slop goblins I guess.
Fuck that's me I'm a slop goblin
It also doesn't help that reddit killed a bunch of smaller/niche forums/websites since people just migrated to whatever subreddit popped up
Sloplins go on ~~chapo~~ hexbear
Yeah Reddit is the textbook example of enshittification. I can't think of any other website that has consistently gotten objectively worse in such an obvious way
I'd say it's close between reddit and youtube but killing old.reddit would solidify it.
Reaaallly old YouTube was rough. Very small file size limits, very few creators, slow loading. It definitely got a bit better before it plunged off the deep end.
Whereas Reddit is just straight up a downward line in terms of UI/functionality. In terms of community and subreddits, it's always been a mixed bag of shit but it's definitely worse than it used to be overall.
On the other hand, you could literally just watch TV shows on YouTube because they hadn't figured out automated media fingerprinting yet.
