Yes and no, I loved reddit's simplicity and compatibility with third-party applications. There was basically a subreddit for everything.
My feelings about reddit started to change when they implemented the new reddit frontend. Another change was that some big subreddits have mods who are on a power trip - so a simple discussion was impossible. Now they have taken away my favorite application - Apollo.
I'm pretty sure reddit will survive, but with worse content anyway, because reddit as a business doesn't care about quality of content, they only care about engagement.
On the other hand, I'm "happy" reddit did what they did, and because such a decision to limit the API or introduce nonsense only promotes the development of a federated and decentralized social internet. It reminds me of the "old internet", which I miss a lot, and I'm very happy to see its revival and people using it.
