Reddit seems oddly quiet these last few days. Its kinda eerie. Posts that would normally generate a ton of comments just have 2 or 3 comments. It feels a bit like a calm before the storm.

Anyone know whats up?

    I feel like they’ve been shuffling chairs on the titanic to cover up their falling engagement. Their default sort is now showing things from 4+ weeks ago, “Hot” posts with 0 upvotes on massive subs, hiding total sub member count with a rolling view count, etc…

    Not sure who they’re trying to fool but it’s not hard to tell that activity has dropped. Stale posts, niche subs have dried up, active readers in the single digits, deleted comments, etc… But their stock is higher than ever so that’s nice I guess?
