The people who don’t care how it works and just wanted it to be a doomscroll content feed for them are a ton of the ones who got mad about the protest and are still there.

The issue with that line of thinking is that it is either ignorant of or deliberately ignores the fact that Reddit actively undermines your ability to build community as you see fit. They don’t view subreddits as communities, they view them as commodities, and their users are unpaid content producers that they are happy to steamroll over the moment your “contributions” don’t exceed any impediments to monetization you may be causing.

Reddit is no longer an actually communal space. It’s a virtual sweatshop for online content so Reddit Inc can monetize ads ads ads all over.
