Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social)

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

The occasional time I get on there, yes. It's a bunch of reposts. There's no substance what so ever and there seems to be a lot of arguing in the comments.

I felt Reddit's quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after ~~they introduced the official app and~~ started allowing Google logins.

EDIT: Looks like the official app's been around longer than I thought. :O

Is the official app really that new??? I thought it was around since way before.

It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/

In a way, it's been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia

Oh, that timing makes more sense haha all this time and the app still sucks balls.

I stopped using reddit.. so I have no idea!

[–] Stranger@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I still use it and all I see is useless memes. All the helpful stuff is private.

Who checks reddit anymore? I don't check the site at all. even if they did let third party apps back u/spez could always go back on his word. lemmy and the #fediverse where here to catch us when we became stranded!

I still enjoy /r/cfb and /r/collegebaseball

Otherwise, it seems the entire site has devolved into nothing but new bot accounts posting from the big book of repetitive karma gaining questions on /r/AskReddit. Seems everything else is a ghost town.

I don't know, because I'm normally here rather than there, but you could test and find out. Take some screenshots before and after and do a double-blind test to see if you can tell.

reddit has been going down hill for over a decade at this point. if something better was a available it would have died a long time ago
