Reddit is considered one of the most human spaces left on the internet, but mods and users are overwhelmed with slop posts in the most popular subreddits.
I don’t think I would. If it were a zero-sum game where I either have good reddit and no money, or modern reddit and a billion dollars, I’d probably take the money.

I just don’t understand the greed rich people have to constantly take more for themselves when they’re already doing great.

Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I’m being completely honest.

It’s a problem inherent to centralized online platforms.
That’s when things started going off the rails yes. Remember Victoria and the good ol days?
