You may have just heard it from me first: I know a guy that knows a guy that says that the next upcoming self-inflicted injury on the Reddit site is an imminent removal of the "old." prefix that has been used to un-fuck the interface and make it more bearably usable. They're already bleeding out users, especially active content-creating users, so this will only accelerate evacuations of the carnival tents as the circus fire spreads.
Tiktok, youtube, instagram, snap, twitter
It's not just about how unique the product is. They also need to compete for time from the user
If reddit becomes shitty enough then something else will become more attractive
