Reddit became great with the help of goggle. By becoming a searchable database for knowledge. Google & reddit are already on like step 7 of the enshitification, this last one should be huge red flag for everyone.

I redacted my accounts during the API blitz & nuked most of them for good recently. It gonna take a large amount of users fighting back but their is no fixing reddit anymore, it needs to become useless for the masses to migrate.
