    They threaten to saw the branch they sit on.

    Btw, greed and jealousy are cancers that eat the brain.

        Very much doubt it but they will lose a lot of causal trade page hits. A lot of finding solutions to things is why I end up.on Reddit now as it only useful result in Google.

        But the vast amount of people using it as social.media will stay

          I’m sure they are already getting less and less hits as people wipe or obfuscate their histories, and as their users migrate to cough other platforms and post OC there.

        It won’t just be this but it’ll be things like this, further monetization schemes, and eventually killing old.reddit that are gonna keep chipping away at their faithful userbase.

            That’s because all the admins are using old.reddit themselves.

            They can see the numbers for new shit reddit and old reddit. They haven’t gotten rid of it because it probably still has a ton of traffic that can display ads. It’s extremely obvious that they fucked up with the new design just because the old one has been around for so long

      I literally only go to Reddit for videogame questions. I know most normal people only head there when they have specific questions.

      You know, the people they can actually show ads to?
