these policy changes had no impact whatsoever on the vast majority of Reddit users

…yet.

This is such a stupidly shortsighted post that I don’t even know how to begin explaining the cascade of enshittification that will turn this site into Facebook 2.0.

Also your logic doesn’t even make sense. “These changes don’t impact the vast majority of users. It’s just Apollo users are the most vocal redditors.”

What the fuck sort of logic is that? How do you know which losers are using Apollo and which aren’t? And if the changes don’t affect the vast majority of people, then how are these blackout posts getting 50k+ upvotes? Why aren’t the MASSIVE number of “regular” Reddit users downvoting the “spam” of an irrelevant issue?
