No more VC free money + enshittification

They already crippled the mobile site years ago and put login walls from a long while ago, way before the pandemic. old.reddit.com was the only thing that let me skip it. They deserve to die out.

Yeah, it’s rotten to the core sadly. For all I care archive the important info and let it burn…

This lifecycle has a name now and it’s enshittification :the cycle of internet platforms starting out as open seamless spaces of discourse to lure users and then welding the gates shut to then appease advertisers and shareholders drastically lowering the quality of life and discourse

Return in all aspects to how it used to be in 2014 or earlier, but it will never happen because enshittification cannot be reverted.

That includes the bloated inefficient new design that includes an intentionally hostile mobile website that shits the bed on 3G connections, the echo chamber machinery, random layout shifts, NSFW login walls, automated censorship and shadowbanning, the privileges for the big subreddits and the big sponsored powermods.
