I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

Anecdotal but I don’t know anyone, including old people who don’t use Adblock. Sure I installed it for half of the ones I know, but the others found it all on its own. The ads are just insanely disruptive so one could see why it would happen naturally.
