The real question is why bother? You can change your IP address use a different device or VPN or whatever but why? What's the point? Wasted effort for what? Reddit? So you can continue to offend some pathetic basement dwelling neck beard dogwalker theyby mod? Trust me they'll find a way to get offended without your help.

Reddit is dying. They've practically killed the site and it's just shit now. Like most social media. More fun to go outside.

That's what I figured too : it's more hassle than it's worth. I get lots of results in search that are reddit links, so I'll just read it on teddit if I need information.

I mean even after you evade the ban, you'll just have to play by their rules anyway so it will suck. Otherwise you'll just get banned again. Complete waste of time to bother with getting around it.

Reddit is probably the absolute worst of the social media platforms at the moment. In terms of censorship, quality of the users, etc. Participating in it makes you stupider by association. You'll have your time sucked up dealing with random bullshit dumbasses and whatnot. Why bother.

I'll read it sometimes still to laugh at the idiots but even that is becoming less and less as the censorious mods lock down most any discussions once they start getting a bit spicy. And they're hemorrhaging real users like a gattling gun victim.

It's all paid shills bots corporate pr accounts etc. They're slowly sterilizing the whole site into just either straight up techno fascist propoganda pieces or bland corporate sales pitches. It's becoming the one thing that is the ultimate evil.

It's boring.

Yep, I don't believe their top post views 52k are all human, that's for sure, and only a small fraction goes and makes comments, which are also some bots and shills. There are a lot of neets who aren't the sharpest knives, that's for sure.

I mean it's not a stretch to me to assume 52k people have seen the top post. Reddit is still a high trafficked website after all. But there's no reason to assume the upvotes and downvote represent actual user numbers on a one to one basis. Or that the number of comments are all unique persons.

Reddit is in the business of selling add space of course so it's in their financial interests to prime the numbers. Whether or not they actually do that is speculation of course.

Doesn't really matter either way what the exact ratio of bots to idiots is though. Still a waste of time even if it's all one or the other.

What you say may be true, but I think the founders of Reddit would have wanted to avoid it becoming what it has become.

That said, any time the money men get involved and take over, it is inevitable.

They're not dying at all. They're the largest discussion site, period. 10s if not hundreds of millions of users. Huge targeted subs, larger than anything Facebook offers, ideal for targeting people with promotions, getting knowledgeable advice and more. They're a fucking ruthless monopoly and should be split up. They've been absolutely corrupted by absolute power

It doesn't feel that way. Go into any sub and count the number of commenters in that sub. It's a small fraction of who's viewing it. All social media is like this. Factor in bots, Feds and shills and it gets worse.

Haha, you really think hundreds of millions are people are looking at these posts but only 50 people comment? It's fake.

They have something like a post every couple of seconds, and many people only post a couple of times a year so the figures more or less work out. Compare that with Saidit where you're lucky to get one post an hour
