      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!

      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.

        A month or so ago, I was in a PT office and overheard a normal looking person (normie) talking to their PT about Reddit. I thought the very same thing about the new Redditors being all mainstream and well, icky. I really don’t think I am better than them, but my nerd-ego does.
