A lot has been written about how Reddit should/deserves to die, but not much has been said about what a loss of a community it will be. Besides providing amusement, Reddit is the reason I'm a better programmer, partner, and person today. Reddit taught me things that my school never did but should have. It's the only social media I can say that about. I'm sure I'm far from the only person out there with this kind of story. I fully believe people will be worse off without Reddit to go to, if it really does die off.

Reddit has done the same for me. I learned life stuff on there that I would have never learned anywhere else. It's a real shame to see it turn into shambles like this.
