Reddit itself is next in line to become enshittened in my opinion.

Disabling "old.reddit.com" would achieve this nearly instantly.

They are planning to make their API paid-only and removing access to NSFW content via the API, so it's about to be thoroughly enshittened soon (59 days and counting).

The paid-only API was only for excessive/commercial users, I believe... At least until the enshittification progresses.

The NSFW thing is bound to be shitty.

I wonder whether they'll allow things like combat footage.

Watch the rules change after that, so anything not Disney is NSFW.

I've already seen tons of examples of people getting 3 day bans for the silliest of things, like calling someone an idiot.

They seem to be trying their hardest to turn away their main user base.

I got "permanently suspended" for saying that the Russian people should deal with their Putin problem.

All my other usernames were suspended at the same time for this transgression.

I didn't even say how they should deal with the problem, but that was enough apparently.

They disabled i.reddit.com a few weeks ago.
