Reddit is getting destroyed by tiktok for casual news/random videos etc.

I was a huge reddit user over the years, but now I only go there for a handful of very specific subreddits. That's really it's only use anymore. It's great for that, but they are probably seeing massive decline in usage.

And the moment they basically kill 3rd party reddit apps is the day I barely touch it again.

I can't really agree. The curation on reddit just far, far better outside of the super generic frontpage subreddits. Tik tok is 99% garbage content.

My experience is the opposite. TikTok curation is incredibly efficient at honing in on the content niches that appeal to you. My TikTok feed feels very personal, I regularly interact in the comments and find some truly insightful discussions there. Reddit is a totally random mess of crap that I used to like. The manual curation of subreddits feels outdated and a pain compared to TikTok's ability to "organically" bring me to content that I am interested in at the moment.

Tiktok and Reddit give completely different experiences. Tiktok has good video content but I love Reddit for its extensive comment sections where people can write paragraphs upon paragraphs on various topics with links and explanations. There are so many posts with long discussions and opinions on every topic imaginable.

My attempts at commenting on Tiktok with anything informative have failed as the super short comment limit makes explaining anything very frustrating. Tiktok just doesn't have a commenting culture and most people stick to emojis and a few word comments which aren't conductive to interesting discussions.

The front page and discovery parts of Reddit are being replaced by TikTok.

The major subreddits of Reddit are being destroyed by the moderation and are basically echo chambers.

The remaining users are barricading themselves into a handful of subreddit which offers no real advantage over forums (except for how the branching layout of Reddit threads mimics pre-forum chat rooms).
