And most recently: blocks even read access without a login (sporadic).

The old reddit login part was my last straw.

I bet they will go log in only next and really kill their product. The draw of reddit, for me anyway, is that it's anonymous.

Literally all those changes where strictly because reddit is only valuable for Ai training data.

It started when google bought access to said data, and we where forced to stop using third party apps.

Google dropped out of the deal and no one wants reddit. Reddit is full of bots, and pro palastine "hate speech" so in order to be valuable for Ai training data it has to use ai to moderate and kick out anyone who doesn't produce valuable data, or is potentially a bot. They only want verified I'D users who don't bring up issues that show up on googles front page.

also trying to force users to use the APP, by constantly refreshing the page if you backspace. currently sink it/ yeold reddit extension can bypass the login pages, and make oldreddit usable on mobile for the time being.

Huh. My problem was I was getting shadowbanned and suspended left and right, whereas as I had been an active daily participant for YEARS with absolutely no problem.

You could avoid the bots and junk pretty easily be sticking to niche subs, but the banning and suspensions were unavoidable while commenting.

I got so tired of engagement bots pinging me with inane questions every time I posted I comment I left and came here.

Fuck the system that requires enshittification. Fuck capitalism.

Greedy little pigboy

I mean people are still on fucking Facebook for Christ's sake

Although 100k lemmings generate more genuine human interaction than ten billion redditors would do, so stuff them.

No way there's that many humans. The number is diluted by bots and misreported.

Yes, US users specifically. I'll correct the title.

Streaming services do report their membership, just not what shows...

And I honestly don't trust this article I posted, could be AI; seems weird investors wouldn't want to know how many logged in users there are vs bots. Not knowing that would make reddit on par with a penny stock. It's crazy to me that Reddit would stop reporting logged in users, though, of course, they can massage that number as much as the SEC will let them, which given their cozy relationship with the corrupt Trump regime, is probably a good deal.

Oh, maybe. I thought I cleaned that up. It's gone now, thanks.

Ah, I did link it, but then went to the text tab like a n00b.

Corrected. Thanks..
