View submission: What We’re Working on in 2024
The lesson they learned from killing 3PAs and cracking down on mods who protested was that they are unlikely to suffer appreciable consequences for their actions and so they don’t have to listen.

The trouble is they have suffered consequences to content/moderation quality. Reddit is filled with even more drivel than it was before the API change and mass departure of mods. Subs have less distinction and niche than ever. That probably doesn’t hurt site-wide metrics though so they won’t notice/care.

Short term consequences, sure - long term consequences? Remains to be seen.
