I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    The issue is the mindset of profitability.

    For a platform like reddit, the mindset for sustainability must be based on efficiency and utility, not profitability.

    These platforms are called platforms rather than websites or simply “companies” for a reason. They act like a public utility rather than a for profit service of convenience. Public utilities also suck ass when operated as for profit businesses.
