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.
What’s happening is so clearly a money grab. Spez has decided he wants to cash out and there’s no one who can stop him. RIP, Aaron Schwartz.
