Reddit is drawing ire and shock this week after its CEO publicly condemned the old default feed r/popular, saying it 'sucks' and announced that the feed will soon disappear for new and inactive users. The decision, unveiled on 3 December 2025, is a giant change in how Reddit will surface content to its users and has generated thousands of reactions across the site.
Thousands of Redditors took to community forums to express disappointment, anger or cautious optimism as the platform reportedly moves away from a single 'front page of the internet.'
