Am I wrong in thinking this is sad as hell? Like seeing an old faded billboard with the same "your ad here!" text that's been there for ages.

Sad, but I ain't mad. This is the bed that Wish.com "Elon" made for Reddit

Great Value Elon!

Elon: 4 letters

Spez: 4 letters

Coincidence?

...

Almost definitely but still I love how comparing someone to Elon has become an insult so I'm having a good time anyway :3

It's really sad for me to see a social media platform like reddit crumble. I spent years there.

I spent more time at Reddit then I did in the K-12 education system. I have a lot of good memories and learned a lot from both, but I have no desire to return to either.

I worked there once upon a time. This whole thing has felt like seeing an old friend succumb to addiction and wind up derelict.

I will never feel sorry for advertisers or the people who work with them.

:^)

It's sad, but hard to feel bad for doing it to himself.

It's like meeting your ex who has now become a homeless meth-addict.

That's exactly what I said elsewhere in the thread. This is billboard company behavior.
