The contribution of content is very lopsided. I remember about 10% of the users writing at all and maybe 2% writing prolifically. You don’t need much to move the content somewhere else.
- yanderekko 3y agoSure, but since these changes aren't affecting many users I'm not sure why this would happen. It seems to mostly be wishful thinking on the hopes of activists that this will cause some sort of massive brand damage, or even the sort of advertiser revolt that Twitter has faced. But that would require a lot more mismanagement from spez, I'd guess.
- mlyle 3y agoFor a long time, Apple kept the option to receive plain text emails when almost everyone else had moved to HTML. Why? Because there was a crucial slice of unix-y developers who liked it that way, who were an important segment. Even though third party apps might be 3% of users, I'm guessing that the users that are passionate enough about Reddit to find/seek out the best app/pay for app subscriptions/etc are much more likely to be those critical 2% of prolific contributors.
- makeitdouble 3y ago> Sure, but since these changes aren't affecting many users I'm not sure why this would happen. I'm curious about how you count the number of users affected. 3rd party apps users are at a first order, but as those also included mod tools, any subs that had admins relying on these tools are also affected. And sure reddit is promising adjustments, but at this points those are just vague promise, and looking at the CEO you wouldn't trust these promises much. Then as those subs go dark, if the mods are replaced, you also potentially get way worse moderation all around. From that POV, the number of affected users feels pretty huge to me...
