    I’m seeing a lot of worrying trends.

    The whole idea of Reddit is changing. It used to be the front page of the internet and that encompassed basically everything. Now it seems like there’s a lot of focus on making it advertiser friendly

    Then we see Spez basically spitting in the face of the community. Mocking them, calling the unpaid mods “entitled” and just showcasing that he actively seems to despise the users.

    Now we’re seeing Reddit do shady stuff like undelete comments. Destroying any trust the community may have had in the website.

    The 3rd party app issue was just the kindling that ignited all the other issues

      His open anger has been pretty surprising, I feel like the past year has seen more and more of the owner class going totally masks off with anger when the peasants don’t just get in line to follow orders.

          Those are probably the highest profile examples.

          Everything else is way smaller scale, and often more about the tone than even what is being said. There’s a general “how dare anyone push back” or a complete failure to understand what life is like (some of this overlaps with the “ok boomer” stuff).

          I’d point to:

          • Martha Stewart’s rant about RTO
          • Many many of the “nobody wants to work anymore” rants we’ve seen
          • The tenor of Starbuck’s anti-union actions
          • The communications I’ve seen from my (large) company and those at friends’ (obviously not going to list which)

          It’s not like I’ve been keeping a list but those are what come to mind first.

            Probably it’s all linked to the post-virus epiphanies about working conditions that have lead to things like the great resignation, the concept of quiet quitting (which is a bullshit term for me) and in general a bigger conscience of how work affects life
