minus-squareSleezyDizasta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·4 months agoReddit’s strategy is genuinely brain dead. Just think of the shit they’ve been up to: Jacking up API prices to unreasonable levels and killing off third party apps that brought millions of users on to your platform Continuously make the UI shittier and shittier to the point where it’s unusable Do the same with the app Kill off old Reddit which is the sole reason millions of users still use the site Add awards and expand the feature to basically become paid reaction emojis Remove awards even though they were one of the biggest revenue streams Announce it was a mistake and add the awards again Add avatars that nobody asked for and make some of them paid Add a premium subscription that does nothing and do absolutely nothing to improve it Add a bunch of useless features that nobody uses like Reddit live Truly the works of geniuses.
