REDDIT posted a more than 20 per cent rise in revenue in 2023 versus the year before, sources familiar with the situation said, as it prepares for one of the United States’ most anticipated potential initial public offerings (IPOs).

They don’t care, indeed. And that genuinely leaves me with a sour taste in the mouth - that they’re enshittifying a platform that used to be decent, and getting away with it.
I wish that users fought against it, by simply… leaving. However whoever was to leave already left, like us; the rest is like that sort of dog with an abusive owner, no matter how much Reddit Inc. kicks them they’ll remain there, and never fight back, at most whimper.
Reddit is who still “feeds” a lot of us. I looked for alternatives, and use Lemmy as much as I can, but there just are communities that only exist on Reddit.
I did prune my subscribed subreddits from 140 down to 11 though, and will never install their official app.
Cases like yours count as “leaving”, for the sake of this division. Sure, you’re still interacting with the platform - but you’re doing it in a limited way, only with the comms that you couldn’t find elsewhere, dictating how you do it, looking for and feeding alternatives. You aren’t passively accepting the shite going on, like the majority there.
What I said applies the most to the moderators still there, rationalising excuses to not migrate their communities. Lemmy/Kbin, Tildes, oldschool forums, even Discord (eew), unless the alternative is 120% perfect it is not good enough. Still submitting their users to an abusive administration, knowing that Reddit will go downhill past IPO, but doing nothing against it.
