Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.

Reddit's Active U.S. Users Took a Dip, the last time Reddit will report (www.marketbeat.com)

Article from August of this year (not too cancerous once you get through the first two splash screens).

Reddit shares DROPPED despite increase revenue. Why? Objective signs of enshittification:

  • declining active user base
  • massive increases in revenue.

People are leaving so the ones that remain must be more heavily monetized, which leads to more people leaving--the enshittification death spiral.

Reddit will no longer be reporting logged-in users as a separate metric lol

Literally all those changes where strictly because reddit is only valuable for Ai training data.

It started when google bought access to said data, and we where forced to stop using third party apps.

Google dropped out of the deal and no one wants reddit. Reddit is full of bots, and pro palastine "hate speech" so in order to be valuable for Ai training data it has to use ai to moderate and kick out anyone who doesn't produce valuable data, or is potentially a bot. They only want verified I'D users who don't bring up issues that show up on googles front page.

reddit banned too many people. half of reddit is mostly AI bots, or botters/spammers.
