Article from August of this year (not too cancerous once you get through the first two splash screens).

Reddit shares DROPPED despite increase revenue. Why? Objective signs of enshittification:

  • declining active user base
  • massive increases in revenue.

People are leaving so the ones that remain must be more heavily monetized, which leads to more people leaving--the enshittification death spiral.

Reddit will no longer be reporting logged-in users as a separate metric lol

Good luck to anybody trying to find clean data in this day and age.

    You don't need clean data just numbers on a chart with blank promises for improvements.

    Oh, wow, this from the month before this article:

    https://www.ibtimes.com/reddit-reportedly-not-renewing-ai-deal-google-its-stock-sinking-3805616

    That would explain the sink in stock price. My article was probably ironically written by an AI without updated training data.

    I never fully remember the source, or I might sometimes get the fact slightly wrong but generally speaking everything I say is backed up by a real source that I'm too lazy to even begin to think about looking up again.
