Reddit is redirecting some impressions away from existing communities, and some advertisers are pausing campaigns.

    I am still of firm believe that the subreddits and moderators should do what they feel is the best course for them as a community.

    If they are okay or accepting of what is gonna come, come 30th of June than I fully respect that.

    I deleted my 6+ years account today (edited comments before deleting) and was on the platform itself for 10+ years.

    I am doing this because Reddit crossed a boundary I set for myself in regards of the way they are communicating and being ran.

    They are very much a company with an autocratic leadership, they don’t care about the userbase and any conversation about changes impacting the community are falling on tone deaf ears.

    The fact that they are showing their hand and sharing their plans of “Increasing monitezation until profits arrive” is for me the last straw.

    For me it shows one thing;

    The changes implemented may not impact you directly now, or tomorrow, or next year but they will be knocking on your door eventually. At that point I hope there are still people who will speak up with you otherwise you have no “choice” but to open and comply.
