    No doubt, but they’ve really ramped up lately. It’s like all the manchildren from t_D suddenly saw their chance to be assholes again without consequence.

        It’s almost as if making changes that are blatantly hostile to the unpaid group of people who literally keep your site from devolving into a cesspool on a daily basis isn’t the best of ideas…

          I don’t think anyone would even notice next to the garbage that’s already served by default on Reddit.

            Going to the front page not logged in is like visiting YouTube outside of your account. It’s fucking trash.

      I look at it this way: it sucks, but it’s not surprising - it’s expected. There’s no reason for them to cater to the users, because that’s not how these things work. The people who made this decision

      (a) mostly care about money

      (b) were obviously willing to lose the favor of Reddit’s users for money

      © have built a platform who’s monetization model has become somewhat at odds with what made Reddit good in the first place

      (d) are probably going to succeed in making money from Reddit

      It’s sad, it really sucks. But, there’s nothing we can really do about it, apart from things like post memes mocking Spez or making subreddits go “dark”.

      Neither of those are long term solutions.

      I’d rather we moved on and let it go, tbh. We could be doing a lot more
