Goodbye Reddit

I've been using Reddit for over a decade, and like many of you, have seen it evolve over the years. The current state of Reddit is just not usable anymore. The early days of Reddit were pretty awesome. You'd go to a subreddit of a particular interest and people would post and comment about this shared interest. Now politics and propaganda has invaded every aspect of this site.

This site has literally become a propaganda tool. It's not something I feel comfortable supporting anymore. My time on this site often leaves me feeling bad and worse off.

There were two major shifts I recall which led to this downfall for me. The first was when Reddit made it impossible for all the 3rd party apps to function due to crazy high API fees. The RedditIsFun App was superior to the Reddit app in everyway. The second was when Reddit decided it would force you to consume what it wanted to show you, vs. just showing you the content of your subscribed subs. Now all we have is a dystopian propaganda machine riddled with bots attempting to shape and force opinion.

There's a few subs that aren't lost yet... and maybe I will lurk in them from time to time. I just not longer want to support and use a platform that is trying to undermine everything I stand for. Wish you all the best.
