The biggest Reddit communities are in open rebellion. Twitter is, charitably, a mess. Twitch started taking a full 50% of the revenue of their top creators, who are furious. What's going on? What's the bigger trend that's causing all these platforms to go so user-hostile?

#26It seems to me like this is turning into a subreddit migration in slow motion. A lot people still want to post content and a lot of people still want to read content, so what's happening is people are posting it to the less popular 'alternative' versions of the popular subreddits and those posts make the frontpage instead. It seems like there is a noticeable decline in quality but i'm still seeing quite a bit of post…
There is Saidit https://www.saidit.net/ but it's not really a viable alternative.

#27"Let's use Reddit to promote boycotting Reddit!"
Why is that a bad idea again?

Other people’s opinions are surely different than mine but… I think the subs that have gone dark actually made Reddit better. It’s all the popular subs, and that’s the really low effort, frankly, basic bitch comments. For me, in protesting they’ve improved it.
So there's more subs participating than just the popular ones.

I’ve been on Reddit since the digg migration and I’ve never felt the need for an app, old.reddit.com and Adblock works perfectly fine on the phone. Better than Reddit’s mobile site.
