Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social)

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

100 people spread across 80 communities isn't useful, but neither is 100,000 in 1. It just creates an overwhelming amount of noise. Comments get filled with jackasses jockeying for attention, and niche posts get buried in floods of other posts.

Just because people have become used to it doesn't mean it's been good. It just means people have been blind to what they've lost, all because we have biases toward big numbers.

Niche interests won't be spread out. That's not how they worked before Reddit, and it's not how they'll work after it. Big popular groups will splinter, and it'll be a good thing.
