Its like watching Rome burn.
So it turns out most of what reddit is and was was created and maintained by its unpaid users. Access to and use of it was vastly improved by third party apps and tools, the website itself was actually pretty shit.
I hope that they’re right. It’ll be hilarious to see Reddit filled with nothing but spam, as a consequence of its own actions.
It’s like that one time I hosted my own forum, forgot about it, and one day my hosting provider sent me an email saying I was way over my data quota. What a shit show that forum tuned into.
So content creators move out, bots move in, and Reddit is just going to be bots talking to each other?
Soon reddit will just repost from Lemmy
Yup.
Wonder how long advertisers will pay to show ads to bots…
What you’re describing is basically the Dead Internet Theory.
Always has been bots. Bots all the way down.
I guarantee that the admins didn’t know that sub existed
