I don’t think the size of Reddit was, itself, responsible for the deterioration, but it did attract bad actors and those not acting in good faith – the bots, reposters, karma whores, etc. It’s an unfortunate side effect that’s hard to guard against when these actors see a huge platform and an opportunity to take advantage and manipulate it.

I’ve been hunting for a YNAB equivalent and alternative for years since they went subscription based. This looks to fill that hole.
