www.theverge.com How Reddit set itself up for a fall
Reddit has become more relevant over time — and its users have become more possessive.
Ideally, an un-paywalled version can be found. Even if one can't be found, it is still much better to post the source.
Can we make it a habit to post source links? I don't want to surf completely on vibes.

Thank you for all the hard work! The app is getting better very quickly.
Cheers!
Same. Always kinda talked myself out of commenting on reddit because my comments would never be engaged with. Felt like I missed the boat there. Time to start over and build a new community.
