I agree. I think Reddit is delusional if they think they will be able to successfully monetize what are essentially just forums. Reddit users themselves don’t give a hoot about Reddit as a brand, company, or product. They care about communities and being able to have discussions on their favorite subjects. There’s no secret sauce proprietary to Reddit at all and people will go where ever everyone else is

I haven’t seen a single comment that began with “Imagine…” yet. The lack of immature and pointless sarcasm is a breath of fresh air

It’s annoying that they chose to shout out the instance that is not completely open to new users and has de-federated from other popular instances

Good luck with that lol
