Reddit Was Fun

"The Day Reddit Died" (Sung to the tune of American Pie):

Once upon a cyber-age, I still can vibe With how Reddit used to make me feel alive. Dropping my content, catching people's gaze, Maybe even making their day less of a maze.

Then came u/spez, making me shudder, With each update, worse than the other. Dreadful news hitting like a bolt, API calls suddenly worth a gold vault.

Third-party apps couldn't bear this mess, Every step closer to distress. Did I tear up, I can't recall, When I read about Apollo and RIF's fall? But something hit me, like a landslide, The day that Reddit died.

Chorus: "Hey there, u/spez guy, Thought you'd be Reddit's MVP, But we know that's a sky-high lie. Just a plain Joe with stars in his eyes, Saying 'Soon, I'll be the big prize guy!'"

Did you overhaul the subreddit's code, So only John Oliver's pics rode? And NSFW content became the play, With OnlyFans girls leading the way?

Remember the mod strike that caused a quake, Threats of being expelled, no give, all take. Admins kicked out the mod crew, In their place, a monkey zoo.

That was the day Reddit died.

Chorus: "Hey there, u/spez guy, Thought you'd be Reddit's MVP, But we know that's a sky-high lie. Just a plain Joe with stars in his eyes, Saying 'Soon, I'll be the big prize guy!'"

Then June 30th dropped like a bad meme, Despite the Reddit community's scream. Third-party apps posted their farewell, Users all around began to rebel.

The day that Reddit died.

And as they bailed from Reddit's sinking ship, They were singing: "Hey there, u/spez, you sly guy, Thought you'd be Reddit's MVP, But we know that's a sky-high lie. Just a plain Joe with stars in his eyes, Dreaming 'One day, I'll be the big prize guy.'"
