Yeah, sometimes it feels like yelling into an empty chamber, but I see the votes coming in, I know people are there. Trying to drive engagement without seeming like some marketing asshole at the same time.
The grief still hits me every once in a while, but the realization came that Reddit isn't who they were 10 years ago. I'm not sad because I left Reddit, I'm sad because Reddit betrayed who they were when I signed up, and they killed a good thing themselves.
