How Reddit Died:
“August, there’s a knock on the door. I open it, and there’s this cute little girl scout…”
“And she was so adorable with the little pig tails and all”
“…and she says to me “how would you like to buy some cookies?” And I said “Well, what kind do you have?” She had thin mints, graham crunchy things…”
“Raisin oatmeal”
"…raisin oatmeal, and I said “We’ll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?” And she looks at me and she says “I need about treefiddy” "
“Treefiddy”
“…well it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a capitalist social media company from the quaternary era”
“Reddit Inc”
"I said “Dammit capitalist monster! Get off my lawn! I ain’t giving you no treefiddy!” "
Hey, I recognize your name from reddit! Nice to see you here. You’re not wrong, that’s literally what happened lol
Something nice to share with my PO :D
Nah wouldn’t say reddit’s implimenting of dumb features was the problem, I mean new reddit sucked but nobody really quit when they still had old.reddit.com. The killer was removing good features.
