    Let the enshittification begin continue. Now that stockholders will be expecting increasing profits, I don’t see how Reddit can remain free to use.

      I feel like Greedy Pigboy and Reddit Inc. as a whole deserve to be punished, for all that “my precious data! No, it is not the users’, IT IS MINE! MY PRECIOUS!” fiasco. Enshittification will happen either way.

      All other social media platforms are free.

      It is just there will be difference between users and customers (those who pays money to promote something or get data on users). And users are not customers.
