Reddit died? All the subs I follow are still there and carries on. Nothing really changed.

  Same, and according to Google Trends, Reddit's popularity has only been climbing. I haven't noticed any form of death on Reddit.

    Facebook was also reporting growing numbers for years when in reality is was already dying

      What does "dying" in this context mean then?
      • herbst 3y ago
        Could mean many things. One metric that works for me is how well ads and promos translate.

  Some of my favorite subs have turned into cesspools of tribal politics. Take /r/SimpsonsShitPosting - the injecting-tribal-US-politics-into-everything problem has been especially acute during the last few weeks, but this has been a growing problem for a couple years

    Well personally I only follow heavily moderated subs and factual ones where there is basically 0 politics (/r/buildapcsales/ or /r/gamedeals for example)

    shitposting subs are great for submarine / low-key propaganda because there is little filter, and because there is a specific kind of person reading and posting there.
