Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.
Apparently reddit attended the same workshop.
Wait, really?! How?
They just announced they're removing the coins/awards system.
How else are we supposed to know that the [removed] comment at the top of r/news or r/politics was the best content in the thread?
I don't know, but don't read it unless they gilded themselves 3 times... whoops.
They also deleted all chat history from prior to this year.
I think they also plan to block you viewing Reddit in mobile browsers so you must get their app.
And that will be when I completely stop browsing Reddit. I already dropped my useage by probably 95%. If they do that, it'll drop to about 99.9% since I do most of my browsing away from my desk.
For real lol. It was my “information” app for coffee breaks at work or when I had downtime. I’m only at my computer to game, not browse Reddit
