The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
The thing I’ll still hop over to reddit for are the smaller niche communities for certain hobbies or even specific products. That’s one thing the insane userbase numbers on reddit is good for, these very small niche interests are able to leech off that. In a few of those cases the subs have had Discord servers for a while, which I actually use more than the subreddits even before they made the API changes.
I think over time the reddit experience, for people who actually want to comment and participate, will continue to become more shitty.
