Comment on Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO
Squizzy@lemmy.world 9 months agoSome of those issues went over here pretty quick too.
I feel we have a lot of the faux intellectual crowd who thought 5-10 years ago they were better than other for using reddit.

Nonsense. Most of us thought that at least 10 years ago. Reddit didn’t start going downhill until just before the 2016 US primaries, when /r/conspiracy went from semi-interesting headcannon to full on Trump worship over the span of a week. Then we realized what we were in for but it like watching a car crash into a dumpster fire.

Watching meme subreddit the_donald go from a fun playground to a serious army of defenders was my wakeup call

The death knell of the sight was when they quarantined TD and all the crazies started migrating into the other places of reddit. After it became a cult TD pulled people onto the sight, and ended up dropping in the laps of everyone else. All the people long term redditors were trying to avoid by not using facebook were now all over the sight.
