All your points are very true, unfortunately. It just saddens me seeing companies hurt the very community that even allowed them to rise to popularity
Allowed them to rise is an understatement. The content and the value comes from users alone. Reddit itself is his a shell without them. Even the moderation happens through the users. I don’t know what will happen to Reddit, but I do hope it will be painful for spez.
I care less for what happens to the website and more what happens to the users. Having a website where you build and found such large communities fuck you over like this must be heartbreaking
