Evidently not enough people left Reddit due to their last enshittification measure, so the enshittification will continue.
Enshittification will continue until morale improves
If I've learned anything over the past decade, it's that people in general will put up with an astonishing level of enshittification
They don’t even notice in my experience.
They think people like us are losing it for even noticing.
Yep, they'll hit you with the:

Can confirm. Blew a fuse when Spotify started sneaking AI generated music in my playlists and my whole family said I was overreacting and that it didn't matter
People on average will literally put up with anything. You can charge them $10/month for their email and you see 90% or so of all people just shrug and then pay it.
Most people seem to not even have any notion of how things can be better. They never even think to look up like "block ads". They just take whatever fuckery they get
Another reminder that the average IQ is 100.
I really like listening to Amy Poehler's podcast, and there is a running joke that whenever she pulls up YouTube on air, she has to sit through ads.
And guests will kind of rib her for it, but they do it because she hasn't paid for YouTube to get rid of ads. Always like, "omg you still haven't just paid for YouTube?! I can't believe you have ads!"
Like... Are most people simply unaware that ad blockers exist? I've never watched a YouTube ad, nor have I paid a dime to them for anything. I will simply not use YouTube before ever sitting through a single ad.
I just don't understand how people can be so strangely incurious as to not even wonder if there's a way to stop this bullshit.
If they didn't, it wouldn't happen (so much). It's like: we get the government we deserve...
they have too large of a presence of many of the main subs, like sports, celebrity gossip, movies/shows,,,etc, the og news and politics sub too, and then every new sub that popped up related to news or politics, thats probably where all the anomisity is coming from since the bans are likely coming from these giant subs. sports being another one, and now INDIA too. plus tons of porn subs, and OF peddling subs.
Yeah, mainstream folks like mainstream social media.
