I’ve been thinking a lot about why I decided to come here and I know it started off as a “they can’t make me use their shitty app!” while simultaneously using test apps that crash and navigating less content than Reddit. What is the primary motivation for all of this anymore? Is anger enough of a motivation to keep people away from a platform long term?

I have a feeling that most folks are more loyal to their communities than they are the company themselves - meaning that no matter how bad the corporation is, sacrificing what they truly care about is not really worth it no matter how poorly they are treated.

If the community goes away, THEN reddit goes away.

But if the only way to access their community is through some shitty app, I don’t see it stopping many people.

    Reddit has never been the same to me since the algorithm changed and the front page was the same all day.
