I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.
Can't shake the feeling it'll be a pump & dump. It would be truly poetic for Reddit to be pumped up with bot content, IPO, then dumped.
