Thousands of subreddits go dark in protest

The subreddits went dark for a 2 protest on June 12. As of today June 13, those subs are still dark. Reddit has gotten greedy with more ads and now the issue with the subreddits. The main sub that went dark, probably won't return because communications with the corporation are going nowhere.

Reddit has changed the Home, and Popular posts, and now added the Latest posts section in the past few weeks. This is another example of corporate greed who don't listen to their core audience.

There are a few subreddits that support those going dark. However, since they are more crisis-related or war-related subs they did not close down. Two that shut down temporarily, are in my area that provided a lot of local information. It's a sad situation when you consider the I-95 collapse on Sunday in Philly, and people were asking for alternative directions to bypass the area Now those subs are dark.

Seeing the Reddit board has grown tone-death like other major social media is frustrating. It's going to hit their bottom line which they deserve. Enough backlash they may be the next Twitter or possibly MySpace.

*shrugs* won't matter since those subreddits don't own the platform. Much ado about nothing.

I believe that the AI tools not depend upon sources like the reddit or likewise.

Reddit hasn't become greedy for ads. The whole point of creating websites like Reddit where millions of website traffic congregates online, is to monetize it with advertising revenue.

Why else would you grow a website with millions of subscribers, if your not going to monetize it by allowing marketers and advertising agencies advertise/market to your affordable traffic sources.

Why they want to cash out every inch of the platform, reddit renting out APIs, twitter blue tick saga now restricting post views. They should think about users, they are at stake.
