Yeah it’s been said he has contempt for the users but i think it’s more just utter disconnection. He thinks he owns a website, instead he’s got the infrasctructure for a community - one that’s angry and can go elsewhere.
But will enough us jump ship? i hope so but am not that optimistic
It’s mostly irrelevant to me whether Reddit crashes and burns or just enshittifies itself into oblivion. The API pricing change as an event made me realize how little value Reddit was providing, but if others are content with the site’s direction, they have an audience.
Same thing happened with Facebook a decade ago. So long as Reddit doesn’t go the Facebook route of covering the web with bullshit to the point I have to add their domains to pihole, it would be difficult to care less about whether this is the end for Reddit.
