He didn't crush any rebellion?
I still read reddit, and the content has taken a big dive since the Apicalypse
I barely visit Reddit now, but the odd times I have done, the ratio of signal to noise seems to be the worst it's ever been.
Increasingly I'm left feeling that what I used to get from Reddit isn't even there anymore
I don't really hang out on Reddit anymore; I mostly get the impression that he crushed a mod rebellion from stories like these that refer to a mod rebellion.
Ah, that makes more sense...

I still read reddit
I'd say these two comments rather contradict each other. Reddit doesn't care about the quality, they care about their active user count
People giving up and still adding to that count in large numbers is what "crushing the rebellion" looks like, even if they're doing it ironically or judgementally
I imagine that this public reddit doesn't care about that; They are instead interested tn engagement and sinjing to the lowest common denominator. Quality control only matters when it hurts engagement.
All too accurate, the apicalypse was just another step to change the demographic of Reddit from users posting good and interesting content but demanding features and complaining about bugs to users posting acceptable content while not complaining as much about bugs and missing features.
If modern social media trends have shown us anything, it's that content quality could be shit and it doesn't matter if there will be thousands - if not millions- of people swarming to view it.
Nothing against you btw, it's just a general frustration I have with trying to move focus away from these sites
I completely understand, quantity is also a quallity.
Meh, whatever, the marketing team must be working hard at making it seem appealing before the IPO.

That's it.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
