They did last year as well. I recall there being some racy stuff that was being blocked out by black boxes placed by the admins, and people were able to track admin and mod accounts (like spez) that were placing pixels instantly with no cooldown. People were pissed then already, and the admin/mod response was basically "get wrecked we too smort lulz"
Place even last year was blatantly a ploy to give reddit more free and controllable content.
The more I read about Reddit underlying issues, the more happier I get for leaving.
I mean, I might be wrong but it looks like its getting run by dictatorship kind of behavior.
Currently the content on Reddit is pretty dry apart from the niche subreddits I’m in. But the majority of subreddits are pretty much reposts of old stuff.
Reddit is the new 9gag. Sad
