    They didn’t win shit. What they did broke the site for everyone. It doesn’t stop being broken because they seized control over the subs, something they could have done at any moment.

    Reddit has detonated all its credibility, leaving a hole in the side just big enough for most of the site’s users to escape as they decide reddit isn’t worth it, or find good-enough alternatives. It won’t happen all at once, but it’ll happen.

      I’m sure reddit will limp along, Tumblr did, myspace is still technically running although I don’t know anyone that would use it.

      Maybe a younger crowd will get attracted to the site, maybe it will live again on fresh blood but I’m just not going to be a part of it. I’m not going to endorse their actions with my presence.

        There’s a trend of using old point and shoot camera instead of the mobile phone or a mirrorless cams. The older the camera the more prestige you get.

        Maybe they’ll use MySpace to post those photos. Haha.

        Let’s see. Retro websites being used by gen z to try and see what it felt like during the times of their elders. To get a feel of the nostalgia posts they keep seeing in social media.

      Yeah and they broke bots which actually were core to certain subs. The quality of say Buildapcsales isn’t what it was.
