    I’ve run into this yesterday, and was puzzled not to be able to find any news about the change back then! It really does suck, and I wonder about the timing coinciding with the shutdown of Reddit APIs; yet another site full of useful content taking its toys and going home. 😑

      I’m cynical and assume Twitter absolutely did it on Reddit day on purpose

        The cynical in me tells me this was Musks plan all along and had been coaxing Spez to get him to implode Reddit to take off heat from this move.
