I think Reddit hasn’t quite caught on to the fact yet that they’ve pissed off their power user / poster community. The number of comments may have stayed the same but sooner or later the quality of posts will go down.

I wiped all comments and posts and deleted 3 of my accounts today. All were around 8 years old and had several thousand karma. I still have my primary, for posterity sake (17 years), but I've wiped and deleted all comments and posts on that as well.

The number of comments (and posts) stayed the same because their bots were all posting to maintain the comment quota. There is no other explanation for how a website that was 90% unusable didn't have the slightest drop in content.
