@arstechnica I'm happy. Reddit should just die. We have better alternatives that keep the spirit of old-school Reddit alive.

@arstechnica I have left Reddit a year ago. I don't regret it.

Sure, more UX hoops will fix this. /s

@arstechnica I need Reddit the company to suffer consequences for its years of user hostile behavior and plundering of the public commons

@arstechnica Someone should crawl that site and host its entire contents on TOR on a search engine. Fuck Reddit.

@arstechnica what about having a relevant search engine in their website? Account or not, most users use search engines like ddg adding "reddit" in the query.

Traffic is down. Bettered install a road block. To get more traffic. Yeah. It makes sense if you don't think about it!
