Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

It will be quite a shame to see Reddit gone (like in the way of Myspace). I really read tons of posts hourly and daily on the site. I am still currently a member on the site. Hope there will be better places to go if Reddit is gone.

I deleted all of my comments and sold off my accounts to what I presume were overseas buyers. You can get $100 USD for an account at least 5 years old with 10,000 karma. I had a few that were in the 13y +40-50k karma that got significantly more, even with all comments deleted. Just sell out and take the money

Where did you sell it?

[–] LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Huh shit, I had 10 years and 200k karma but deleted it.

[–] Linus_Torvalds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But is a 10k+ karma account really worth that much?

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Fuck mine is probably 5 years with 100k karma at this point. Gonna go sell it.

Maybe it's necessary to get chance for something better to emerge. Until cycle repeats again.
