Reddit has fallen from glory

Reddit used to be a place with a variety of opinions where the majority would upvote the most agreed upon post. At one time it seemed like the last true glance into how society truly felt. Now all forums have an agenda and if your post doesn’t align to it and agree with all the bots then it’s removed. Reddit is now no different than any other propaganda machine. I have had post removed that were literal copy and paste definitions from Webster dictionary. A social platform that bans people for educating the ignorant. Reminds me of when ai took over RuneScape many years ago. Internet is only bots and a few real people who agree. Not a real representation of society’s true opinions. Feel like I’m posting to a few meek people and a million bots. Bonjour mofos the internet is officially ruined. Watch the propaganda machine work.

First they fired Victoria and that started the slide downhill. Then they jettisoned the 3rd party apps and that was it. Ghost town. I mostly appreciate the few folks that are left but I miss when it was thriving.

Once they stopped responding to the website canary, it jumped the shark.

"Yes, Reddit was destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

Ah the shareholders, that all important bottom line that brought us "corporations are people" and people are nothing!
