Pretty much how the whole site is going right now.
The people bringing actual content there have mostly left from what I can tell, now it's almost all reposts.
Unfortunately that seems to be enough to sustain a platform nowadays.
The bot accounts are becoming the most active
They are so easy to spot that I'm convinced they are deployed by reddit themselves.
Unfortunately they can still copy content from other platforms. The comments will probably devolve, but investors hardly care about that.
"Average words per comment" would probably be a good metric for the quality of discussion on the platform.
The contempt reddit's defenders have for reddit is a bit boggling. They seem to truly hate the site and the communities they want to be open, and they seem to truly hate the mods. Spez ought to be careful with friends like that, they are guaranteed to dislike whatever his next subreddit banning is
I mean...what's wrong with that? The original meme talks about society, something you can't opt-out of.
You can absolutely opt-out of Reddit. Reddit is a private company and it's CEO has announced he doesn't care what the users of the site think, he will be making any changes he damn well pleases. Continuing to use the site after the CEO has already given a hardline "No" to all requests (and then telling the media he idolizes Musk and his overhaul of Twitter) is implicitly accepting you're fine with the answer and the changes.
I think the problem stems from the fact that Reddit and other 'private' businesses are acting like public squares. People use these systems as public spaces in which they can build communities, relationships and ideas. It's not just a question of "well it's private so they can do whatever they want". Lawful is not the same thing as ethical. Some people on Reddit have their society on Reddit. What does Reddit owe them? It's a demand to ask 'How should Reddit and other businesses participate in society in a way that is ethical and helpful?'
