Well this website is dying fast. Literally killing off a user created project, THAT YOU STOLE and made money from. But now you’re telling the community to fuck off and they can’t do it anymore

Until an actual viable competitor comes along they will continue to do this stuff. Their user base continues to grow despite all of these things that people hate and complain about which means their target audience has shifted. Same with youtube. Something new needs to gain momentum or this will continue to happen.

Hey dude, we’re going to steal your idea. Then we’re going to kill it off, but only after we turn a profit. Is that okay? Of course it’s okay. Thanks man

It's not dying, it's going for a more superficial, consumerist target audience. It's like watching a popular restaurant with character and local ingredients sell out to become a shitty burger joint. The managers are getting paid and so, it's a success.

Uh, so is there any reason that the community can't take ownership again?

The moment I find a new place like old reddit, I'm leaving and never looking back. Unfortunately I haven't found one yet.

The ONLY reason I come on this website is r/Buddhism. I love that community. Reddit as a company is abysmal and I'm very, very close to just leaving but r/Buddhism is the only thing that brings me back.

Honest question: why can't the community do it anymore?

Why not just make a new sub and keep doing it?
