Reddit engineers prepare to kill 3rd party apps, 2023
An echo from the past.
History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme.

Don’t forget to post where we’re all going.
Can we get a teams call going with the Reddit execs and Kevin Rose?
And here we are. 13 years later, after the mass exodus.
I’m pretty sure many have said in retrospect that v4 had to happen even if it went poorly because the back end was so duck tapped together that it couldn’t continue in that way anymore. The choices they made were bad ones, but v4 (a back end overhaul) had to happen.
Why is there one lonely tower with random stage lighting? 
What a coincidence, my cake day is Feb 2010.
They’re all posting Ron Paul memes.
It looks like season 3 of Silicon Valley

Hey where do we go after Reddit guys?
I miss Diggnation. All those Rev3 shows, really ahead of their time for video podcast content.
During all this talk about Digg and reddits current trajectory I came across the open letter Alexis Ohanian , co founder of reddit sent to Digg in 2010
“It’s a damned shame to see digg just re-implementing features from other websites.
“But I’ve got a strong feeling it’s not you making these decisions anymore”
“this new version of digg reeks of VC meddling”
These things could be said about reddit the last few years. As reddit approaches going public they are under pressure from current investors who want to make money at IPO and a general desire to be more investor friendly
What users want and what investors want are usually complete opposites. Expect reddit to get worse.
Unfortunately without a big enough userbase to create the content in the first place , no alternative will ever take off.
I wont say where in that picture i am (Privacy reasons) but i am one of those people in that picture.
What killed Digg for me was firstly, they stopped tracking torrents, then they killed off the comment sectuons. Same as IMDB, I pretty much stopped using it after they turned coments off.
To be honest, I never really went on Digg, even in it’s prime. I did, however, watch Diggnation almost religiously.
Thats the part I miss.
Reddit really wanting to emulate the Digg experience
What’s a digg? /s
The sad thing is the current Reddit owners know they are killing Reddit, but they don’t care as they are going to pump and dump. Protesting or complaining is pointless when this is their plan.
Oh well, some Chinese guys get richer at the expense of retail investors, Reddit dies a slow death, and maybe it opens the doors for someone else to develop the next Reddit clone.
Half of them had already sent out applications to other cos..

Well it probably won’t happen as I predicted 12 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/d8mkv/the_future_of_reddit/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
This week on ‘seconds before disaster’…..
theoatmeal had a great take on this back in the day! https://theoatmeal.com/pl/state_web_winter_2012/reddit_digg
Having to spend a whole day working on the middle cushion of a crowded couch makes me want to vomit.
Well time to move to truth social
