I have eaten far too much popcorn this far, but will keep watching the collapse. My account is 17 - 18 years old at this point but I have not logged in for at least a year.

How is this new? Reddit gold gave you access to the subreddit that only gold members could access. It didn’t have anything good in it as everyone would rather have a larger reach.
If he intends to convert an existing sub to it, he will quickly find how much people are happy to more to a new sub.

Enshittification intensifies.
spez is slow walking Reddit to the graveyard.
Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
It’s slowly becoming twitter/x
TomMasz@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s been obvious for a while that spez is trying to be a Musk/Zuck.

If small dick energy had a face it would be Steve Huffman’s.

Wait, I thought he was the guy who had the woflds most punchable face…

They’re not mutually exclusive.

In order for lemmy (or any alternative) to really take off, efforts need to be made to mass migrate content. The biggest inhibitor of adoption is the lack of communities, and the user submitted info backing them. Not only would it be beneficial for alternatives to have this on their servers, efforts should be made to index and back up the mountain of how to and general hyper specific sub reddit information for the good of society. The world already lost so much during the last purge of users comments and posts, further enshitification of reddit will only lead to more getting lost. Are any groups working to scrape all (or the most important data) from reddit and break it out in a searchable format here?

That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.

Well Reddit started off with a bunch of sock puppet accounts to make the site look larger than it was. Now they have bots doing that so when you refresh Reddit it’s always new. Back when it was good there was a point where you’d just run out of Reddit. It was a meme. They figured out how to stop that feeling.
But that feeling is good! We will have to get used to the fact that real human sites don’t constantly update if we want nice things.

Lemmy can expect some inbound traffic

Get fuuuuuuucked, Reddit

I almost wish Elon would buy it, so he can “manage” it like he did Twitter

great, hopefully more people leave the sinking ship
billwashere@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Man I kinda thought they had already hit enshittification bottom. And then they bring out the backhoe and dynamite.
Toneswirly@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Its never been a better time to ignore reddit
False@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I can’t imagine what sub-reddits they think people would willingly participate in that are paid-only. Decreasing visibility and potential participation group automatically makes those worse in most cases.
samus12345@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Porn?
False@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, actually. I could see them taking on OnlyFans if they wanted to. But I think they want to be more mainstream than that.
Link@rentadrunk.org 4 months ago
One could argue they already did that with Reddit Gold and /r/Lounge
False@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The lounge is trash content anyways.

Reddit: Here’s another reason not to use our site.
Users: Ok bye.

Please reddit, make more bad decisions faster so people can overcome switching costs finally
odelik@lemmy.today 4 months ago
What I find hilarious is all these companies doing this shit after all the advancements in programming languages and paradigms in the last few years.
Thanks to tools like Node.js, React, Flask, Reflex, OpenAPI Gen, GoLang, and more, people that are fed-up and have the know-how can stand up competing technology in record time.
I look forward to see what comes out of this corporate power grab. Hopefully there’s not a lot of pain and suffering alkng the way.
andxz@lemmy.world 4 months ago
By far one of the easiest decisions was jumping on over here - and I barely understand it half the time.
Second best was ditching Facebook like it was cancer.
ZombApoc@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
It does seem like a lot of ads for “3% of inventory”. I can’t ever see a reason to pay for a subreddit.
arunshah240@lemmy.world 4 months ago
After reddit goes paywall It’s time to Lemmy
xc2215x@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not a great decision from Reddit.
XeroxCool@lemmy.world 4 months ago
“more ads” as if it isn’t already as flooded as meta sites.
hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I feel like this is gonna be a cash cow for reddit, just not in a way spez can just openly talk about.
A huge portion of reddit is OnlyFans promos. Reddit is making zero off of all this, because traditional advertising doesn’t want to associate themselves with porn. A bunch of these “paid subreddits” will basically be a reddit’s attempt to compete with OnlyFans.
I honestly think it’ll work. There’s a lot of money in porn.n

What’s “reddit” and why does Lemmy seem obsessed with it?
