I’ve never been sentimental about a social media site but it’s sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It’s just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.
I’m a bit sad we didn’t have more time. But at the same time, I could see where reddit was going: it was inevitable. Once I saw what new reddit looked like, I knew this day was coming at some point. Doesn’t mean I’m not sad about it though. Lots of history and useful information will be lost.
