When I first started browsing reddit many years ago, I remember the comments and user contributed information to be of decent quality. Now there are many topics with page after page of irreverent half-assed humor. I am not really sure where the blame lies for this (mods, user culture, bots, etc...) but the quality of content on the site dropped dramatically over the years to where most of it is just garbage or noise. I really don't think that can ever be fixed.
- BizarroLand 3y agoI mean, we knew about the eternal September of Reddit. That was just part of the experience. The oldtimers would drift slightly more and more out of sync with all of the newbies, the newbies would gradually become the oldtimers, that's just the way it goes. Circle of internet life, you know? They're probably looking at this attack as ripping off the bandaid. No need to have generated so much ill will, but the owners of Reddit, (not the users) have decided they want to go forcefully in a certain direction and they do not care who they have to trample to go that way. To that I say, "Godspeed, and go die in a fire", but whatever. I'm enjoying the comedown from my Reddit addiction. I find myself reaching for my phone when I'm bored and realizing I deleted the app and have no instant dopamine buttons available. Change is good, and if you can't change with it then change in another way, right?
- HybridCurve 3y agoAgreed. It's not going to get better. You can't force changes on users who generate and manage all the content on your site.
