Agreed. It was headed that way but most of us, including me, ignored the warning signs. I should’ve quit when they cancelled Reddit Gifts giving some lame bs reason. I should’ve quit when they launched new Reddit with all it’s ads and tracking crap. I should’ve quit when they started turning the site into more mainstream social media. But I still continued because I was mostly shielded from all that by third-party apps, and sticking to niche communities and staying away from r/all. But the API thing was the last straw for me, if there was any proof Spez was the next Zuckerberg, that was it, that was all the motivation I needed to quit.
