This is the richest part of all of it. They’re taking tools away from people with no time frame for replacements. I’ve been using Reddit for 16 years and the only things I’ve ever seen them ship are new Reddit, rewards, premium, and avatars. The fact that it’s 2023 and they have accessibility issues is appalling. If they can’t handle screen readers then mod tools ain’t coming.
They are all going to leave eventually. If this utter disdain for the users and mods is before the ipo, then everything after will be much worse. It is inevitable now that the quality of content will decrease, and that’s the thing that will doom them. Even if they fire Huffman and walk this back, the damage is done. They can’t draw in new users on a more than decade old product, so their only choice is to change the product to appeal to new users. Today that means going left or right. The users and mods that stay are writing graffiti on the walls in a flooding city.
