That’s inaccurate given that 2/3 of the OPs and a lot of the commenters have really old (8yo+) accounts.
8 years is by no means “really old”!!
In this context it is - it means that the user saw how Reddit used to be, and is likely informed enough to have a good guess on what’s going on.
(Some accounts there are 12, 13, even 15yo.)
It’s all speculation and it been going on forever.
Every single every example is “hey has any anyone else noticed” With some speculation about the algorithm. No one knows anything, but it’s presented here fact.
Where’s your critical thinking ?
All I’m asking is for something a bit better than “I swear it’s true bro my cousin works at Nintendo”
