This concept is not long for this world. I've been a daily user for for than a decade. * [Your default sort and filter list no longer only contains content you are subscribed to.](https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/m1pb9u/comment/gqgh821/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/m1pb9u/comment/gqgh82...) * They continually "improve" the default (and Hot, New, Top, and Rising) sort and filter algorithm(s). Every day it contains less relevant content for you, and more content peppered with ads and outrage. All of these options are slowly morphing into the same sort and filter set. * They are aggressively shutting down interesting communities which don't fit their advertiser profile, and using the above algorithms to ensure no one ever sees them. These include, for example, discussion of covid or vaccines from a critical perspective; assisted suicide; Donald Trump; guns; trans controversies; etc. * They are aggressively policing language. There is a growing list of words which, if used, will earn the user a ban. * They stopped work on old.reddit.com, which gave users more transparent control over sort and filter. I predict they will kill it soon. * They currently allow API access for third party aps. These aps don't serve ads and can employ their own sorting and filtering. I predict open APIs will be shut down, just like all the other major platforms have done. Long story short, Reddit is going to turn into Facebook. They've made that intention clear. It's only a matter of time before they demand Facebook-like verification for users.
