1 year agoYeah it really went from “This is your community. You created it and can run it how you want. Reddit is just a collection of loosely-connected, privately-run forums” to “This is my subreddit and I expect you to work for free making it nice for me, even though you created it.”
Yeah, like your experience with Facebook is largely dependent on your IRL contacts using it. If your friends and family still use it, you might not even notice that it sucks, cuz you are by default more likely to be interested in their normal life shit. But individual connections aren’t really relevant on Reddit. I don’t even know if any of my IRL friends use it. My experience with it depends entirely on strangers posting good content. If those strangers stop, then Reddit sucks for everyone.
