I'm honestly tired of the trolling. We know that the advertisers and investors aren't going to reverse course, which means Advance isn't going to change, and that means Spez is going to keep going. All the trolling does is hurt the users, and push Reddit closer to the brink. Either Reddit will just be closed because it's not profitable, or there will be a tsunami of bans.

The die was cast when Reddit decided to put the 3rd party apps out of business. Doubling down on that is only accelerating the decline. We've now reached the point where even if Reddit did some serious backpedaling, it wouldn't get some of its content creators back.

Yep. The majority of Reddit is lurkers. I don't have any data, but I would bet a higher percentage of content posters and creators were using 3P apps. The fediverse probably poached a lot of good content.
