I disagree.

My main is a 12+ year account of reddit. I think the site is more useful than it ever has been.

I’m in a variety of subs, genres spanning many interests and have mod on several.

Sure there are accounts focused on upvotes. But not only can this be corrected, you see this on all social platforms now.

TikTok, for its youth and growth has this and that platform—though it boasts leading edge media presentation—is completely without the real and deep comment threads you find all of the time on reddit.

You find more “shitpost” content and commentators on major networks, local news and even newspapers as they attempt to keep up with what grows out of subs every day.

There is stuff discussed in subs that is incredibly serious and you won’t find talked about as openly anywhere else on the internet.

If anything the site is undervalued and growing.
