Quality over quantity. Not a slight to reddit users still on reddit. I guess the lack of a karma system doesn't encourage karma farming. The lack of bots also help, i guess.
There's also the fact people on new reddit and the official app have "recommendations" in their feeds. The whole point of reddit to me was self-curation. Now it's just yet another algo-driven doom-scrolling hook.
This is such a brilliant way of putting it
you nailed it. Even when I went to reddit to read tech tips or check in with my gardening community, I got sucked into outrage topics that were pinned everywhere. It was slow how it happened too
Reddit has been boiling its users for years. We're lucky u/spez walked in with a flamethrower and scorched the dish they were cooking..
