Article from August of this year (not too cancerous once you get through the first two splash screens).

Reddit shares DROPPED despite increase revenue. Why? Objective signs of enshittification:

  • declining active user base
  • massive increases in revenue.

People are leaving so the ones that remain must be more heavily monetized, which leads to more people leaving--the enshittification death spiral.

Reddit will no longer be reporting logged-in users as a separate metric lol

It would do more to stop it if you deleted your account. It was honestly probably one of the best things I've ever done for my mental health

I keep it since family occasionally uses it to arrange gatherings, but I'm otherwise on it 2-3 times a year. I'm just not interested.

Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.
