lol. It's only going to get worse. The site used to be the top place to look something up, now it's just going to be full of deleted answers and disappointment.

Its already increasing hard to find relevant posts when doing a Google search with reddit in search. Most posts are from 2 years ago with low upvotes for niche topics.
This does make me happy

Tends to happen when you ban all of your users
He listens to swatsticars guy why would any care any more
Sucks to suck. Fuck Spez.
Look, we can all laugh at that guy. That's it, that's the end of my comment.
Spez fundamentally misunderstands what Reddit is and who it belongs to: the people making the posts and providing the content. The more he alienates the users, the less value Reddit will have. He's shot himself in the foot and he's getting ready to fire again.
Oh he does, he just doesn’t care.
The line goes up, then you sell out to some anticompetitive behemoth to eat before it implodes. That’s how it works.

If you deleted your content, reminder to go back and check it again. Despite running a deletion from my GDPR export data, yesterday I noticed a bunch of comments suddenly showing up on my account that weren't there before so I i had to rerun the deletion.

I hope people keep buying and that it keeps losing money. I hope all these assholes investing in it lose a shit ton of money.
It's not just the AI bubble, it's a distinct lack of faith in Huffman and as a CEO. He's not forward-thinking enough, he hasn't understood where the company's value lies, and he's ridiculously distracted by the latest shiny tech things (reddit NFT avatars, reddit crypto, reddit AI).
I fully expect Google to buy reddit at some point, exclusively harvesting all the info for their search engine, all the content for their AI models, and all the submission/view/voting data for their user profiles (what are you interested in, what do you think of these concepts, where are you connecting from, here are more ads we can send you, and these are arguments that might sway you in purchasing or other decisions).

A "dip" is when the stock goes back up. This is a correction
I thought a "dip" was the CEO of Reddit.
Looks like we're both right!

Everyone with half a brain knows that enshitification and pandering to CEObro echo chambers result in the platform losing large amounts of users or even dying.
Well the ipo brought enshitification at max speed so that’s not surprising. They ostracize and remove users who contributed to communities for a decade+ and then replace the long standing communities with a generic, Reddit controlled alternative that only reposts all time top posts to gain traction. The only thing Reddit has going for it is the user content which is rapidly getting buried under AI slop. Worst of all (for the investor class) you can’t really see Reddit being turned into another right wing cesspool to bait young men into violence with … so there really seems to be less and less reason for Reddit to exist. Let’s hope by 2030 it’s like one of those websites people say “remember when we had Reddit …”
