This is exactly how I feel. For as much (deserved) hate as Twitter gets, it was great for small communities. I've made best friends off Twitter who I still talk to daily. And it was amazing to connect to people like artists or game devs. Reddit is the same -- I won't lament the easy entertainment, I'll lament the absolute wealth of information that might be lost in comments and text posts if the site becomes harder to search. Google itself is already trash if you're trying to find real reviews of products or troubleshoot something, what happens when adding "reddit" to the end of the search no longer helps?

As others have said, ads. The app is also overrun with spambots posting links to scams to buy followers or ForEx or whatever they're selling. The algorithm is really, really bad, at least if you're an artist of any kind. IG was one of the first apps to attempt to steal TikTok's short-form video format, which means it's hard to get your content out there if you're just posting images. And there are a LOT of content reposters.
