A mild realization just hit me. Reddit used to come up in daily conversation, even with randos. Now when I mention it nobody even knows what it is, and those that do remember it… speak of it only as this vague place they used to go years ago. “Oh yeah I remember reddit”
The only time it comes up in conversations is because my buddy discovered reddit only like 3 years ago, when I had just moved to lemmy. He still sends me reddit links several times a week.
Then there is the tech support side, because name it and it’s been posted on reddit, usually with the solution, but now everybody just AI’s the shit out of that so that has become less relevant.
And that’s it. Everyone else that I knew that used reddit has moved on years ago.

Extra hilarious because they just invested so much in ads to try and rope in every day people.
Reddit never came up in daily conversation for me. It came up only occasionally, and it actually seemed to do so more often after it went public.
It was a weird coincidence
