    Honestly, any user or mod that sticks around Reddit after this entire thing…I just don’t get. How can you be so disregarded, have your opinion so thoroughly dismissed, and then just keep creating content and driving traffic to the company? Fuck capitalism, but fuck reddit in this particular instance.

      Because they don’t care. Why do you think people are still sticking with Facebook and TikTok?

        Not entirely true.

        Some of us are still occasionally browsing parts of reddit because not every niche community has fully made the transition yet and said niche communities are the ONLY places to get relevant, timely information for those niches.

        I know for me there are some decade+ old MMO communities that haven’t swapped over yet. Since many of the old wikis got shut down years ago when fandom, etc, took over everything, for some games the only choices are youtube and reddit. Personally, I hate youtube’s monetization forcing tiny bits of information to be strung out into 15-20+ minute videos more than I hate what the reddit team is doing, and I hate what’s happened to reddit a LOT.

        The move is going to be an ongoing process for a while.

        Labeling everyone with broad brush strokes misses some of the nuance of the situation, but I look forward to the day I no longer have to visit Reddit for the information I’m looking for.

          It’s not perfect, but SponsorBlock helps a bit with that, it can automatically skips reminders and such. And the new YouTube chapter feature is also actually good for finding the info you want in a video, but that depends on the video creator.

          I really miss the old wikis, Fandom is just filled with irrelevant bullshit like recommending me I visit another wiki that has nothing to do with the one I’m using at the moment.
