One of the few things Reddit had going for it that anyone’s grandmother understood is that it was synonymous with organic user content (Even if that’s not entirely true). There’s a reason adding site:Reddit.com to Google searches was a meme, and it’s that you could get more organic feedback on things as opposed to the hellscape that was the open internet “listicles”.

When Reddit closed itself off from the internet at large by forcing app usage, and embracing AI which just made their bot problem worse, it legitimately removed the one thing it was actually good for.
