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.

"new" reddit and a focus on showing images and video really changed the site. /r/All was often entirely posts with images/video and comments are often just reaction-comments. It really solidified the trend towards a "TLDR" site. I guess they figured their biggest competitor was 9gag or something.
