    This is the ebb and flow of social media platforms. u/Spez is counting on Reddit being resilient like Facebook: even though it’s a shadow of what it was, it still has users and makes a profit (it seems). Facebook, though, is often for keeping in touch with friends and family–Reddit is mostly for posting with internet strangers, which can be found in a lot of other spaces

    Good to see an article that includes the point that it’s the timelines that make it completely infeasible. A lot of other articles make it come across that the whole huff is just because people only want free shit.

    The title is meant to draw attention from Redditors - it is not exactly true. It may be informative but the title is pure clickbait

    Good article highlighting the fact that the entire business is predicated on the moderators supplying free labor.
