There was no mass migration (yet). For starters, I’d say that the majority already uses the official Leddit app and does not care (like two out of three people I know who casually browse).

It also doesn’t help that some apps like RIF still work in some capacity. At the moment you can still browse non-NSFW, but only logged out, and that’s enough for some.

Furthermore, this only reflects mobile usage. I still browse Reddit using old reddit (up until they kill that), but have deleted all my content and refrain from posting new comments.

As much as I want to say we wonnered, we are the vocal minority. Some subs I frequent, like /r/PCMasterRace and /r/leagueoflegends didn’t even protest.

Yes, Reddit posts have subjectively felt more repost-y and soulless, but we don’t have the insight.

There was no mass migration. Quite a few communities I enjoyed don’t even exist in a meaningful way over here. Perhaps after 3rd party apps truly die, awards are gone, and they kill old reddit, but that’s a big if, not when.

At the end of the day, ragebait is still ragebait, and brings in clicks (as well as ad revenue)…

I’ll be there to link /c/AwardSpeeches or whatever that sub was called.
