That's what I was going to say. Nowadays I only end up on Reddit when a search points there, and only when all other options have led nowhere.

Every time the Reddit browser experience is there to remind me why this is the last place I check.

    Same here, and also only if the answer is important to me. If it doesn’t really matter whether I learn the answer, I’ll just move on. This could decimate their casual educational value, which used to be their greatest asset.

    They either have a revenue stream more valuable than that or this is a comically stupid thing to do.
