  It’s been a series of greed-motivated decisions that have made Reddit a worse experience for users over the last few years:

  • API changes that killed off third-party apps
  • Allowing AI training on its content
  • Hidden/curated profile nonsense (yes, I know it’s easily bypassed)
  • Limiting access to old.reddit
  • Removal of r/all
  • Age verification
  • Killing RSS feeds

  Now requiring log-in to view all content and talks of paywalling some subreddits (put on hold, but I wouldn’t put it past them to bring it up again).

  Despite Reddit being on the decline for a while now, I would browse without being logged in or through Redlib because there is still interesting and helpful information and niche communities to be found there. I recently noticed some subreddits were not appearing among search results on Redlib and not being able to access posts that appear on its Redlib’s front page either. I hope there will be a workaround.
