it’s zombie reddit over there. most of the people that stayed were just lurkers. They still think this was all caused by “power tripping mods” and don’t notice the site decaying around them. They’re just glad the mods that chastised them for being racist are gone.

For some people the experience hasn't decayed. There is still cat pics and vitriol, if that's all they used to see that's all they still see.

I wonder if anyone has done an analysis of the ratio between say upvotes and # of comments. I bet it is much worse for Reddit these days and as commentors dwindle so does content people will add. It's a downward spiral as people lose interest, and it just becomes a circle jerk of bots fooling advertisers, lol.

There’s still lots of comments over there, but the depth and variety of the comments seems to have sharply diminished.
