Reddit doesn’t actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

    The counter question is: why would that be an improvement?

    For me, the stuff with the 3PAs was just a final straw; there were lots of ways Reddit had gone downhill from when I first joined several years ago. I was happy that they was finally a workable alternative that was young and could potentially grow without the bad things about Reddit.

    My ex wife is an ex for a reason, I’d never ask my wife now to try to be more like my ex. We can do better.

      Isn’t that the point of voting? Keep the good parts of your ex so to speak. I’m definitely bored by the content here. Someone pointed out that this community is overwhelmed by millennial techies and it shows. Don’t get me wrong, I am one of those but damn I want more variety in perspective here

        A number of people made bots to copy stuff over from Reddit, and that didn’t seem to create any more engagement in most cases, so I don’t see that as helping. I made my account here June 12th, so not that long ago, and the amount and variety of content has increased a lot. Too many memes for my tastes, but the place is clearly still growing. I think it’s doing well, considering.
