Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac
Penguincoder@beehaw.org 4 months agoI find a lot of good content on Reddit, but its different now as opposed to the early days. The good content used to be on Reddit. Now its not, its on one of 6 other sites, and Reddit is just the ad service they’re posting on. I am sick of the in joke comments and inane comments like “this”. I want discussion.
Reddit no longer has that.

It’s going back to the roots, just in an extremely twisted way - I’m old enough to remember when Reddit was just a link aggregator. You put your stuff on your own site/blog/forum (remember those?), and linked to that from reddit.
People could then update and comment on it on reddit, but the idea of posting something there directly was a ridiculous idea - how could anything be found later when it would get buried under the new stuff in a few hours, and bumping isn’t a thing at all?
Fuck reddit and social media, I want my forums back :(
