What is Reddit really up to?
  • There’s that word again Enshittification, what a fine addition to the English language. Yeah it’s amazing how the lure of big money changes one’s principles, like that hipster coffee roaster that threw you out for asking for a sugar. Now worth a few billy in the instant coffee trade.

  • Yes that has to be proof that it’s automated( not sure if that’s official knowledge?) but that’s pretty ridiculous. I wonder if you said Punch him, would the result have been any different?

  • The content retention is another very thought provoking point. I’ve also deleted stuff and it reappears. I thought it was my dodgy internet connection lol. Tampermonkey is such a great name, not sure what it does but they named it well.

  • But so many at the same time? Because seems to be a definite spike, and mods have been power tripping forever. That concept is pretty funny on its own, oh the power one must feel 🤣

  • Ahaa this makes sense. But they are not advertising that a premium account offers anything in that regard just yet. Unless I haven’t seen it. So they’re overpopulated and looking to improve engagement, if one looked at it in a positive light.

  • It happened to me, so i tried to find out if it has happened to anyone else, found a lot of people. Naturally there will be lies mixed in there but, I saw it first hand. When you’re bored do a bit of searching, it’s seems to be common. As i believe there has been some automation added to the process.

  • That is pretty much what I believe is going on, but today I got a bit suspicious, especially around the karma concept and them leading users to certain subs. That seems more intentional.

    I think the majority of people here understand the new issues with Reddit, but today it struck me that there must be a bigger plan. Almost everyone has a “not sure why I was banned” story. Then there’s the severely limited new user journey that needs to be followed in order to eventually become able to “freely” use Reddit. Eg. You can only post in these groups or can’t comment on this etc. All in the name of spam prevention, apparently.

    But what if it was more about something else, eg. At some point they l announce that paying for a Reddit premium account allows you to be unbanned and free to do whatever you want.

    What other reasons or ideas can you think of, that mass banning users, (some with years of age and contributions, some of them mods.) could be the first step in a plan to capitalize. It might be very obvious to some , I’d like to hear what you think.

    It just seems like actively killing your brand is too stupid of an idea for the Reddit creators.

    Also… think of how many new users are sent to post on a selected list of sub Reddits , because they have no restrictions. Why would anyone looking to grow their sub Reddit not want to be on that list, yet it’s so limited. Who decided the list? Why?

    There is always a bigger plan.

    Have you ever successfully plotted revenge? Why? And was it worth it?
  • The thing that I cant let go of is that I pulled him through some really heavy emotional events in his life, I was literally the only person he confided in and he always shared his appreciation for it. In private. But in hindsight I realized he’d been degrading me since day 1 whenever anyone else was around. Maybe he thought id change if others liked me, or if I became successful. Maybe he joined the business to make sure it never left the ground. Well… didnt go as expected. Had it been a sudden knee jerk response perhaps I could let it go, but it’s the intention and planning that turned him into not just an ex friend but an enemy in my eyes.

    What did they do and what did you do back? And do you stand by it to this day?
