@Popsip @soatok The real reason is the new Reddit has more tracking, and more dark patterns like endless scroll designed to steal your attention. Also on mobile browsers, new Reddit will constantly spam you to use their app (which has even more tracking)
They’re trying to position themselves as a broker of human generated text content. Scraping cuts into their business model, and automated posting devalues what they’re selling to the AI companies.
So basically, they’re enshittifying their platform because their real customers are the AI firms. Their users are not the customers. They don’t care if “high quality” posters leave, because the real value is the organic conversations in the comments.
