I don’t know if this is the right community, but I suppose it’s close enough.

You can’t even make posts like this on Reddit anymore, Reddit has become such a hog on the internet traffic it’s ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a problem if Reddit didn’t take such precious internet space.

They censor people, regular people who aren’t even doing anything too controversial. Reddit’s automated filters constantly remove people’s posts, only conformist content is allowed there, and so nothing of value remains. Just generic conformist post after another generic conformist post.

Why is this platform still popular is honestly just beyond me at this point. No really, can someone please, please explain to me why do people keep using this broken website anymore?

The only thing I truly miss is meme dumps. I know that is a weird thing to miss. Crazy that Reddit had basically become a new google, too, with added benefit of user context. Like if I need a know something. "Query + "reddit""= some dude in Lithuania who did the exact same thing 4 years ago and 12 people's comments with additional tips.

Youtube similarly on DIY fixing. Had to add commercials. I'm looking for a video on how to replace a latch in a fucking dishwasher, I do not want a video about dish soap.

Enshitification of all nice things is the way of capitalism.
