Without a doubt, this is another step in Reddit's demise. It will really go into freefall when they go public later this year, after which I'm certain you'll start seeing more intrusive monetization. The window just opened for someone to develop the replacement. It will rip itself apart over the next few years and all 52 million users will be looking for a new home.

Reddit's product is authenticity. Monetization is the antithesis of authenticity. The two cannot coexist, as they're about to find out.

It's a tragedy, because reddit is the last source of publicly available truth on the internet. I can search for anything with site:reddit.com and see actual human beings' opinions on the matter.

All other truth is locked down in unindexed chats, and all other search results are SEO'd AI written articles shilling referral links.

truth

Hah. Reddit "truth" is sold and bought at every level for anything popular enough. It's just the illusion of truth. Your site:reddit.com strategy stopped making sense 2-3 years ago.

I will not be sad when reddit essentially dies in a few years from now. Good riddance.

> for anything popular enough

There is still a ton of value in the more niche Reddit communities. I don’t spend much time in the default subs, but the smaller interest-based subs are great and most of them are too small for the karma farmers to really care about.

Might as well get off the entire internet because all of the popular sites are sold and bought at every level.
