Reddit relies on having users that care though. Without them, all it can do is just to enshitten itself.



No, Reddit relies on people needing to mindlessly scroll, barely reading even the headlines, all to fill up minutes in an empty existence. "Caring" doesn't feature highly. The 35 million members of /r/aww aren't there because they care deeply about something.


The people who care are posting content for the rest who scroll. The scrollers is where the money is, but the posters are why they exist.
