I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.
People will pick up the pieces and form a new community. Though I think a definitive end to reddit would be healthier than a drawn out wasting away. I think the latter is more likely though.
