How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    Reddit certainly has changed and I don’t think it will bounce back so easily. It feels like the Mall you used to love that slowly fell from grace where all of your favorite stores slowly closed up shop and you found yourself going elsewhere instead. One day someone brings up the old mall in passing and someone else chimes in that it’s now a flea market. It feels like that’s where Reddit is heading… it feels like Reddit is turning into the Dirt-Mall.

        Lol, digg is owned by a company literally called BuySellAdsdotcom, Inc. Like, hey I wonder what that company’s north star is?

      That is a type of transition that’s more exponential than linear. As time goes forward the decline gets faster and more noticable. I think you’re right about where Reddit is headed.

      Bounce back? Reddit is growing and 99% of users will keep using it.

      It’s a completely different place from 10 or even 5 years ago, and it will never change back.

        And yet it dropped all the way to 20th most visited site…

        Cope

          I wanna say 20th is still pretty high, but quality of posts here are astronomically higher than reddit at the moment and if that continues to be the case, new visitors in general are gonna be signing up for both and will frequent the ones they most frequent. Same way we got on reddit, same way we got off reddit.
