    It’s funny watching Reddit die because it’s already been replaced by something better.

    It just doesn’t know it’s dead yet.

      I’m pretty sure most people end up on Reddit because they searched up a question through a search engine and then probably navigate away when it asks them to create an account.

            15 years on that hell site, and I think I used reddit search once, thought “this is dog shit” and didn’t use it for year. I think I tried it once or twice to see if it got any better, but it didn’t.

            I’m well aware how difficult it is to implement a decent search, but you can search for the title of a post word for word and it won’t be on a single page

    Advanced Publishing are Reddit’s largest share holder… It’s owned by the billionaire Donald Newhouse ($26 billion), and his publishing empire.

    There’s a rightwing pro-Israel jewish magazine named Tablet magazine, run by Alana Newhouse.

    Tablet magazine has received funds from pro-Israel organizations and (according to Wikipedia) has promoted products associated with Peter Thiel (who is involved in weapons and emergency information systems for Israel) and Bari Weiss.

    I believe the Newhouse publishing empire might have a specific view of where they want Reddit to be on the issue of Israel-Palestine… And they might not want Reddit to exist or have a wide audience.

    Turns out they’ve owned Reddit for 15+ years now. Sometimes when researching something you hit a dead end, or find facts against your argument and have to accept them and change your viewpoint.
