it feels like a biased, paid and made up news for spez's money to try and revive this hole of a website. most of r/all posts are repost bots, as well as comments in them.

A huge tech company paying another big tech company to stroke it's digital cock?

Never!

Sadly, for some they will believe it and feel defeated and return to reddit thinking it's true, and watch as reddit becomes the Facebook/Myspace of this era.

How nice it will be if the IPO is an absolute disaster!

I can't use a mobile browser to view most content on Reddit anymore due to one of the changes to the site. I get a bunch of prompts to log in or verify my age or something that can only be removed by switching my browser to desktop mode.

This basically ensures that I won't ever use Reddit because I do most of my doom scrolling on mobile when I'm bored.

I think today I'll investigate one of the means of automatically changing all of my comments to fuck spez and then delete my account.
