Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the "unmoderated" communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

Now Reddit is adding AI and streaks

The users have plenty of streaks in their underwear.

Adding NFT? In 2025? They really are desperate..

Isn't it amazing that Reddit Gold was actually one of their better ideas to derive income from users?

they want to paywall subs eventually, plus becoming a facebook clone down the line, where the datamining features included, like requiring your REAL ID, facial recognition, i suspect thier bannings propensity will get more intense as facebook too if you try to "lie" on your credentials.

The worst part is the Contributor Quality Score, which is the subjective version of karma.

If you're not a bot, then you have to spend a lot of real time producing acceptable content to get to do anything YOU want to do. You literally have to grind Reddit to be able to post in some subs, even if your account is older than the hills and has positive karma.

Hate that shit, Reddit’s decline started when individual users started to become sanctioned superusers and did away with the veil of equal-ish participation.

Generally all things done there to scale your feed based on recent activity suck too.

It’s infuriating how much time and energy is extracted from everyone chasing hidden and arbitrary metrics that serve some opaque corporate interest.

Thank you for including a link; this sounds like a fucking joke.

A week or so ago, I got permanently suspended by an auto mod. I posted some link it didn't like, I think it was this one: https://welcometothemachine.co/ which is about how all the filthy rich CEOs sit on each other's boards of directors, which is a bit ironic because this site is just a compilation of posts from one user that appeared on Reddit five years ago. I still read Reddit, but I don't care about participating.

Before the API thing there was only one “am I the asshole” subreddit.
