This article is b*******. Reddit didn't win, Reddit is a scorched Earth, with most of its useful quality data stripped from it. I for one didn't know what was going on for about a month, and was wondering why all the good posts were gone, it wasn't until someone explained to me what Reddit was doing and how it would cause the rest of the internet to do the same that I finally understood why everyone trashed Reddit on the way out.
That makes a lot of sense!
Their input shaping is very on-point! I wish we could reverse-engineer it: I'd try, but I'm lazy and incompetent. :P
Their app is truly awful, and on mobile, they always try to shunt you off your browser and onto it.
All the quality data is gone.. now it's just hostile trolls... good riddance...
