    It’s difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I’m perfectly happy with Lemmy.

        Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.

          Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile

          I still have it installed and even though it doesn’t and will never work, I still like to open it, and have it once again try to retrieve posts only to return “forbidden”. I do it for old time’s sake, like a digital pouring one out for RIF and the Reddit I used to know.

          They have yet to kill old, but I assume it’s coming, and there’s no way I’m tolerating the new interfaces.

        I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.

      Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.

      “I kicked a puppy. AITA?”

      “Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”

      “What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”

        The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…

        So the same shit as here, except for the “look at how bad Reddit is now” posts?

          That’s not accurate. The article is about Australia. Netflix Australia had a net loss of 200K subscribers specifically due to the anti-consumer moves they’ve made which affects a lot more than just sharing a password with a family member. That’s a 3% decline in a major country. Meanwhile, Netflix rivals had subscriptions increase overall and several saw huge surges. Netflix remains #1 by total subscribers in Australia, but that shouldn’t shock anyone given the inherit momentum they possess.

          The article was never about Netflix globally. It was always about Australia. Companies operate business units in regions, and each region must perform.

      The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it’s only uphill from here
