    I was already using the official Reddit app, and I own being dumb as a brick.

    But I still decided to leave because of the IPO, which will unavoidably make the site cater more and more to a mainstream audience until it eventually turns to shit. I call it the Instagramification of all social media.

    That’s why I joined and now I’m thoroughly enjoying it here.

      First porn was pulled from the API. Next it will be pulled from the site.

      Content is there to be monetized. If advertisers don’t like it, and the site’s share price is linked to advertisers….

      It’s a rollercoaster that only goes straight down to hell. Reddit staff don’t care. They will all be rich and gone within 18 months.
