In What Year Did you first start using Reddit? What's the biggest single change you've noticed since then?

[GNews]

2 Cucumber cool questions.

1) What Year did you start using reddit?

2) What is the 1 single biggest change you've noticed since then.


To answer my own questions.

1) I started in or around 2011. Professionally since around 2016/2017 unofficially and 2019 officially (traceable public service)

2) The biggest change I've seen is the power Reddit has over Google search now. Ranks for most brand names & keywords, especially when you add the keyword "Review" to the target keywords for a long-tail search

Stay enlightend my friends. Illuminate your night.

I don't personally use Reddit or have a start year.

1) 2022

2) imgur ban on NSFW content & the website overhaul from reddit v2 to reddit v3 when they IPO'd

both of these events completely changed marketing for OF on reddit and made the barriers for managing many accounts much larger

I started using Reddit in 2016, back then Reddit was mostly used by the NSFW model (Real ones) and the ban rate was quite low, but now Reddit have grown equilant in other niches too and ban rate is also very high. And yes as have mentioned Reddit start ranking for more than 80-90% keywords on Google.

Started like 3 years back but I still got a lot to learn.
Biggest change I can say are the reddit bans, change in platform rules and regulations...

Do you feel bans are more frequent than before?

Do you feel bans are more frequent than before?

Definitely, espeially since ban evasion tools came up and stricter automated enforcements.

Biggest change I noticed is how much Reddit has grown as a trusted source of real user opinions. Earlier it was mainly community discussions, but now brands, marketers and even search engines give much more importance to Reddit content and reviews.
