View submission: [Announcement] Reddit's upcoming API changes and impact on toolbox.
Does it really matter what they technically do when the platform they do it to is already a shadow of its former self? I honestly might be projecting my own pessimism but it is difficult to think of any text based subreddit that is still actually active in regard to both text posts and comments under it.
Not for a lack of trying on the mods side of things, but reddit simply just not giving that type of content the attention it deserves.

You're not wrong... We've had traffic drops through the years, and almost always it is distressing easy to tie them to site level decisions and changes that impacted us negatively and which we just have to deal with and absorb. Some can be counteracted to a degree... but very death by 1000 cuts.
What sucks the most is that there are admins who I've worked with before who I think really do get it, and really do want to make things work for communities... But no one can convince me otherwise that internally reddit is a mess where departments don't communicate or coordinate. Doesn't matter how good one group is... Another group basically is going to sabotage whatever improvements they might be trying to do.
