I’ve never been sentimental about a social media site but it’s sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It’s just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

    It almost doesn’t even feel real. Like, in a few weeks I won’t be using reddit almost at all anymore since RiF will be gone. And yet, I’m still browsing Reddit just as much right now as ever and seeing almost no difference other than salty posts about the API changes on a few subs.

      I wonder if that’s how the people in disaster movies feel when they just stand there, watching the tidal wave/asteroid/sharknado heading their way.
