For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

    For me, I’m mostly sad on behalf of the devs who put their hearts into making beautiful apps to help people access Reddit, who’ve just been hung out to dry with essentially no notice.

    But with regards to the site itself; no, not really. Reddit has been questionable for a while now, and has become nothing more than a time suck for me. I get kind of irritated with the endless recycling of jokes and memes, the reposting of things over and over, the bots becoming all you can see. So I’m kinda glad to be moving on.

      I feel the same way. It’s such a bad way to end things with devs that really propped up the site. I hadn’t been on mobile before a third-party app that I liked popped up.

      The reposting over and over thing has gotten worse in the last year for sure.

        The Reddit admins put way more effort into gimmicks to make money than into fighting spam. Bots have gotten so bad in the past couple years
