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.

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.

Reddit has never been good for "truth". It was good for discussions for the period between the end of forum culture and the 2016 presidential election, but since 2016 the website has been increasingly moderated to the point that right-wingers, moderates and most non-US users aren't represented more than a tiny percentage, and it is a mass market appeal website.

Quora was good for more centrist and international comments, but it too has been destroyed by poor development combined with politically motivated moderation.
