Reddit isn't coming back from where they've taken themselves. Their crappy UI you can't opt out of, exclusive Reddit only app, algorithmic content recommendations force feeding rage bait for clicks. Account level bans on suspicion of having a previously banned account. Nothing fun about reddit anymore.
You can't even search a subreddit inside Reddit on a desktop PC anymore. They destroyed themselves.
Google's AI summaries have reduced traffic to websites from the search results page
Oh, that's just delicious. Talk about being hoisted by one's own petard.
It is remarkable how simple the stock market really is:
No AI = line goes down
More AI = line goes up
It is lucky noone is exploiting that simplicity.
Reddit is only usable if you use RES and the old interface. RES/flag to block anyone that has over 1m karma as they are a reposter/power mod/spammer/etc. Then filter all the main pages out of your feed.
After that point its work just to keep your feed free of shill broth and obvious bot ads/rage bait...
I have one account left as they aren't very good at blocking once you figure out their game. I keep that around to keep tabs on the very small niche subs I'm active in.
Them blocking old reddit finally got me to bother getting redirect working (To redlib) in URLCheck. Fuck em, the experience is actually better so far.
what would be telling is if u/SPEZ gets ousted and most of us get unbanned when they purge out the AI mods.
Yeah, I know, "wishful thinking..."
To be able to shitpost like good ol' days... sigh
Probably because google can be held liable for lies that gemeni shits out in search results now.
And 99% of googles searches came from reddit.
And 99% of reddit is just bots and ai slop now.
Not to mention reddit was the best platform to create a lie that google presents as fact. The subreddit trueanon convinced google that brace beldon could dunk on a regulation basketball hoop for months.
...good
