Reddit delivered strong earnings, but the numbers beneath the surface tell a different story. Slowing logged-in user growth and AI-powered search could threaten the platform's long-term value.
When the only accounts that are allowed to exist on your platform are bots and Russian trolls, and you just ban actual long time users en masse for completely asinine and/or made up reasons, this is the fucking end result. Reddit is literally eating itself, but no! It’s AI that’s to blame. This fucking dogshit company literally just made me defend AI.
They didn’t have to ban me, they just had to make their site unusable and then block API to make any worthwhile app no longer usable too.
It still blows my mind how late they were to their own party when it came to releasing an app, and even with all the in-house knowledge they had, they delivered by far the worst app we’d ever seen lmao. I guess this shouldn’t come as a surprise considering how shit their redesigns were too.
They actually started off on a 3rd party app they bought. Which was quite decent until their acquisition. Not only did they not manage to create a good app on their own, they destroyed a perfectly good one.

I think that was just on the iOS side. Android had a lot of really good apps.
Prob couldn’t figure out how to read the code or do anything with it, so they shut it down lmao. Can’t have nice things on Reddit.
Well, I was on Boost on reddit and now am on Boost on lemmy.
Hell yeah, me too! For both 😂
