‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit::A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever

I remember reddit was constantly advertised by their users as a more "elite" platform and everyone was moving to it at digg 2.0 times. What I seriously started getting curious about is: Did the collective IQ level drop on Reddit, way before the API golden shot? I sometimes share my opinion there and very interesting things happen. They clearly "don't get it". The scene of my native language (Turkish) went totally hopeless. Think like Storm Front for Turkish audience. It all happened in 3–4 years, they say, after Bitcoin madness.

For those in the thread who say it is hard not to go back for specific content, if you want to go back to browse but limit the ad revenue and clicks, you can still reach it with some front ends like teddit.

Here is a good link: http://farside.link/teddit.com

Or, for example, you can directly access subreddits by appending /r/yoursubreddit to the end http://farside.link/teddit.com/r/memes

Sometimes an instance will be down. If so, try it again in a few minutes or in a new browser or tab or clear the cache so another loads.

Company entirely reliant upon an army of hard working volunteers makes some noise about listening. Noise is just air vibrations.
