    I’m struck by the fact that the Reddit is now just straight fucking video content almost exclusively. And most of it is just reposts from TikTok.

    It happened so slowly. But it’s just video, video, video.

    I don’t like video content. Video content is not entertaining. Video content eats up the bandwidth on my phone. I do not like Reddit.

      Maybe it’s an ADD thing, or an ‘aging millenial shaking thier fist’ thing, but video is soooo slow.

      For reference or discussion, I always seek text first, to the point I’ll even download/make transcripts if video’s the only place I can find something. They just have so much filler.

        No that’s just true, videos are designed around ad slots — not content. A text guide you can scan through yourself is infinitely superior.
