From the March 25, 2024 issue of TIME Magazine:
"...However, some superusers retain faith in the company. One, who said his name was Kevon but asked to remain anonymous over concerns about his job and personal life, wrote to TIME that he planned to buy shares in the IPO, believing that the current negative sentiment was more a product of Reddit's tendency to devolve into hive mind as opposed to wielding expertise or insight. 'Every year there are comments that the site/company are going downhill from what it used to be,' he wrote. 'Yet it continues to grow at a rapid pace.'"
Compare and contrast. Talk amongst yourselves.
