I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    The main sticking point is profitability. Not many platforms have managed to create a business model that’s sustainably profitable. Reddit certainly hasn’t. Now they’re basically looking for a way to cash out so they’re prioritising short term profitability over everything.

      They’re just trying to survive until they IPO. Then they can cash out and who gives a fuck about reddit after that.
