Thank you for reminding me to take a deep breath and enjoy the users behind the content :)
This is what happens when corporate greed and shareholder interests take precedence over the communities and the people that help build and maintain them. I'm glad to see that there are still those among us ready to push back against the constant growth mindset. Sadly, I think they will leave or be pushed out and Reddit will fall further into the shithole of mindless consumerism. It feels like the only ones that remain will be the power hungry tyrants and apathetic scrollers.. but I'm glad there is this small corner of the internet that still feels vibrant and organic.
Every change that has come about has happened because someone believed in it, did it, and perpetuated it. Keep fighting the good fight :)
