Spez is doubling down. He's shown his hand. He's lied. It's like watching Anakin's descent to the dark side. He's too far gone.
I don't really think there is a going back. The watering hole is poisoned. There's no more good faith. And, I think for a lot people, especially people here, it's a matter of principle at this point.
I might check in on certain niche subs that don't move on to other platforms, but the days of gleefully doomsctolling are over.
IMO the response was even worse than the initial change. That is what put it over for me.
Make the niche subs/comms here too lol

Pretty much. I'm not going to pretend I'll never use/view reddit again, but it'll be little more than something like stackoverflow, where if they have the specific information I'm looking for I'll visit, but I'll likely not return to the "homepage", or not with any frequency.
