Honestly I find this claim laughable and in my view represents a weak grasp at confirmation bias from the API doomsayers. Still remember seeing discussions here a few months ago where people predicted that the API changes would lead to Reddit being flooded by obvious spam and even child pornography. Well, obviously that didn't happen and the front page of the internet is just filled with low-quality trash like it's always been. If someone wants to prove this point, support it with data. Otherwise it feels like simple mood affiliation. The UX of the median Redditor has not changed at all. |

if you want to provide a criteria sheet for "quality", then sure. But I think we'll spend more time arguing over a definition than me collecting the data.
I'm sure not going to even touch the notion of "flooded by CP". I don't want to know if that has gotten better or worse and there are much higher authorities who won't get arrested trying to audit such claims.

the median redditor isn't a moderator, and a moderator affects many more people than the median moderator. I feel that's a point constantly missed in this dismissal.
Note that this article isn't surveying users, it's about conversations with moderators, old and new. I do indeed question if the UX for the median moderator has gotten worse.
