Reddit going downhill is mostly because they are trying to become more like Meta. A competitor should be less meta, not more meta.

Imagine if Meta bought Reddit, pulled the need for ads and gave the volunteer moderators access to Meta's team of 50,000+ moderators. "You deal with the conversations and the messages from users, we'll take care of the taking down user content that is against the rules." Meta uses the content to train their AI models, removes API pricing (or reduces it greatly, no need to IPO and therefore no need to show revenue).
