Lumi@beehaw.orgtoTechnology@beehaw.org•The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens nextEnglish
3·
1 year agoSomething this “blackout” caused me to notice as an individual is just how much of my time and attention I was giving away for free for a faceless corporation to monetize. I quit Reddit entirely and, while still visiting Lemmy/a few forums, I’ve noticed my “Doomscrolling” habit is rapidly dying.
I would bet $20 that this time next year Reddit will be 50% or less of their market, and several other alternatives will be growing faster than we’ve ever seen platforms grow.
I fervently hope this prediction comes true, and the internet becomes a little healthier in the process.
Did they also argue that a hot dog is a sandwich?
