  • There are many reasons to leave. Can I also just say the number of advertisements designed to imitate user submitted content really got under my skin. I’m not even talking about onlyfans accounts posting in various subs, but actual “promoted” advertisements that used common memes or are made to look like someone took a screenshot and reposted it. Not sure how many people noticed these. This kind of deceptive advertising angers me and I blame Reddit as much as the advertiser because they take the money and serve up this garbage.


  • I’ve adopted the same IPO theory. Huffman thought this would drive more people to the official app, and he expects that increase to help the IPO so he’d make more money from it. If it works he’ll make a lot more money a lot faster than the approach in the screenshot. Then he can just serve everyone ads anyway, sell data etc.

    Also he probably thought we were all a bunch of spineless addicts who would cry really loud and eventually fall in line, and a lot of users have. Now let’s wait and see the quality of community and content he gets after pissing off the people doing the most to create it.
