It’s bad now that they increased the ad size in posts. Now you have to scroll more to see the first comment.
It seems that people running big techs are behaving in a consistently erratic way. There must be something behind it
Oh Is it NNN again already?
Reddit’s gonna reddit.
“Wait our traffic is down? I know! Let’s give people more of what they hate!”
It was good. Long long ago. Entertaining. Infuriating. Educational. For the most part civil.
Now its mostly swamp. it’s the trump era turd swamp. It’s more a cesspool - swamps are great places - trumpville cesspool.
Ending anonymity is 180° out from its starting point. Taken over by corporate it’s like everything else they ‘buy’ - for their profit.
Reddit is now so far away from what made it great in the beginning that it really isn’t even the same site. It just sucks now.
Steve was always going to fuck it up. I recall a incident where he thought it would be cute to directly edit a comment in the database, bypassing the indicator that a comment had been edited after the fact. He never had any kind of good sense.
Fuck reddit and fuck Steve Huffman.
Anyone actually uses Reddit search? That thing has been so horribly broken since the very beginning that some of the best subreddits (AskHistorians, for example) openly recommend using a standard search engine with the “site:reddit.com” parameter.
It’s depressingly hilarious how awful the search is. I don’t think anyone could make a worse search if they tried. Half the time it doesn’t even work for exact matches.
Windows start menu search exists
Back when I used to visit that site and tried the search, it was pretty much on par with Outlook’s search. You couldn’t find what you were looking for, basically.
everyone already searches reddit by adding “reddit” to a google search. putting ads in the native search kind of confirms nobody was using it
People still search reddit?
Mostly through Google, which kind of proves the point.
Sounds like circling the bowl ever since investors became a thought
I’ve just had it with the Reddit experience, forcing an algorithm on me was the end.
It was already shit before the API exodus in June 2023 thus killing alienblue and other loved clients…
Was an OG user from inception. Haven’t been back since. Any time I want or need to view certain things (seldom) RedLib instances work well. You can always set up an rss feed from one and get chronological content if you wanted.
https://redlib.catsarch.com/ is one of many that has been stable for awhile.
redlib (while permabanned) is a bit like being kicked out of the bar and staring back in through the window. You can look, sure, but a bar is about interacting and getting drunk. You are doing neither.
