I’m called out, although I’m not quite in my 30s yet.

Also… Reddit started out in the same way, mostly as a forum for programmers and nerds

I’m seeing a lot of worrying trends.

The whole idea of Reddit is changing. It used to be the front page of the internet and that encompassed basically everything. Now it seems like there’s a lot of focus on making it advertiser friendly

Then we see Spez basically spitting in the face of the community. Mocking them, calling the unpaid mods “entitled” and just showcasing that he actively seems to despise the users.

Now we’re seeing Reddit do shady stuff like undelete comments. Destroying any trust the community may have had in the website.

The 3rd party app issue was just the kindling that ignited all the other issues

It’s always going to start off slow, but it seems like there is a decent amount of momentum and Reddit seemed to do a great job at pushing it.
