Excerpt:
Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.
I was a daily heavy user of Reddit. I was an Eternian and a Centurion. I haven’t spent an hour total on Reddit since July 1.
It helps that their app is absolute shit.
No, i don’t want to see whatever popular fluff is out there while I’m browsing the things I’m interested in, fuck off.
I only use Reddit for the nsfw stuff - it’s still the best platform - but every time I’m in between pictures on my account where I’m only subbed to porn and Reddit shoehorns posts of people asking for legal advice, students looking for university housing tips in a city 100 km from here, highly inspiring LinkedIn video from mademesmile or whatever pedestrian trash… man. Just let me wank.
Being in Eternal Club just means you got lucky once. You need to work for CC.
It wasn’t luck! I posted about my maple syrup system and spent 24 hours answering 1,000 comments and questions. It was hard work.
User name checks out, I guess.
Huh… didnt realize I am a centurion over there. I.e 100k+ karma
Not combined?
No not combined. I got into CC off my comment karma. I make no effort to get post karma so that is minimal by comparison anyway. Ive just never heard us being called centurions before
Same here. The only time I’ve been on reddit since was for tech support.
