Recall when I've talked about how big-tech social media platforms work and how they fund their business? 🤔

Very simply:

More engagement == More audience reach == More advertiser spend == More revenue == More profits

Probably true. I just remember when it was the simple old interface where you simply upvoted posts/articles and there would be a community subreddit for pretty much anything or any topic.

I can't remember, however, how long they've had all the trackers and whatnot running on the webpages, probably much longer than I realise.

This is why if I want to read a subreddit I used something like Teddit.net as a frontend. If I absolutely HAVE to log in and want to post on something for some reason, I'll open up regular shitty Reddit in an isolated browser profile.

@eldersnake I would posit that Reddit had always started out as a "forum"-style thingy with an advertising business model 😅
