How long before the new wave of reddit immigrants here lol
Realistically, this likely won't piss off their userbase nearly as much as the API fiasco last summer. A significant amount of users stayed in light of a number of subs going dark, so I have a feeling an influx in ads won't really grind too many gears (or they will but will just bitch and nothing more).
Reddit is much more mainstream these days, and your average Melvin is just used to ads at this point.
Well, I wasn't pointing directly at this change, it's just like they're on a train to make reddit insufferable for profits.
Uh...ok.
"If your username was a username, how username would username username?"
They're here.
Oh, woe 🙀 It's bad enough that we're stuck with me (ba-dum tssh, self-deprecating humour there :D ) but now we're gonna get even worse critters from Reddit because it's gonna be ones who stayed with it during the previous exodus. Bleh!
