I used to love Reddit. Back in the day, it was awesome, you had customizable commands for niche communities and you had enough control over the feed so as to not see bs all the time. My only prior experiences with social media had been Facebook and Twitter so the bar was really low, yet I loved it. Now it’s just a horrible site to navigate. I have like 3 communities that make up 80% of my main feeds and for the life of me I can’t seem to find a single human. Like all accounts are generic names with the same pattern: quirky writing style, posts and comments like crazy in maybe 3 communities, and is like less than 4 years old. Why? Why does this make sense to them? Who are they serving ads to?
I agree they even removed /r/random and /r/randomnsfw. It was a really fun way to find new communities and interests…and now we’re just giving the ✨infinite feed✨
