Well, I disagree. I didn’t touch Reddit for a year and finally went back about a month ago.

• THE ADS. Fuck me, the ads now! • The corporate plug-ins. I had a legit, verified business comment on my post and then PM me after it. • The videos freeze more often than makes me comfortable clicking on them. • The pop-up trash now; “follow this”, “click here”, “did you know”, “ICYMI”. The U.I looks like Yahoo’s home page now.

Is it dying? I don’t know. Is it exhibiting every square inch of desperation, turning the corner from what was once cool, to what is now every pixel monetised and sponsored? Yup!
