    I think it’s a little late for them to rebrand. People are leaving reddit like they left MySpace.

    I dont hate it. Specially with how all logos had to be flat garbage symbols these days.

        Same. I used to love that site, but the company running it is deplorable. Watching them slowly break their mobile site to push their stupid app is a shining example of everything wrong with big corporations controlling the Internet. We spent decades defining optimal UI/UX standards and the big companies used those to draw people away from sites that actually care, and then quickly discarded them as soon as it was profitable. They actively push worse user experiences to squeeze extra money out of advertisers and I hate it.

    No amount of lipstick will get me to use reddit without old.reddit and RES. And I barely like using that.

      And I was one of the folks that actually liked it.

      Reddit’s rebranding is just garbage.

        They’re downward spiral is by this point inevitable. It takes time for a site to fully die and even the the URL usually still resolves, kinda like now MySpace and digg are still around in some form but totally irrelevant

          The numbers that matter are $$

          The issues right now probably won’t affect the money for a while

          Mods/users/tools leaving --> quality drop --> usage drop –> $$ drop

            they have bots, AI, and astroturfing, their numbers will be fine despite quality having gone downhill for some time

              Yeah, for a while corpos have their finger into astroturfing the shit out of almost every product. At some point it will have barely any user, but bots and corpo accounts.
