Because 2023 wasn't?

To elaborate: what Reddit did this year wasn't enough for a (major) mass migration. I very much doubt even more ads will deter those that have stuck around so far. Perhaps there'll be a trickle, but I don't see anything happening like what was the case for Digg back in the day.

This will trigger an enshittification cycle.

    1. Underperformance per-quarter resulting in anti-user actions to increase profits.
    1. Users leave because of anti-user actions.
    1. Profits will decrease as users leave until the end of quarter.
    1. Return to Step 1.
