I can’t pinpoint when Reddit died in my eyes. But I can say the long road to where it is today started with Reddit Gold.
Reddit Gold was a minor change that didn’t do much of anything besides offer a way to collect money directly from the user base. But it was the start of monetizing the site and every decision by Reddit management after that point furthered that monetization at the expense of everything else.
I played it on game pass. It was a pretty good experience until I used up all the side quests. The main quest held no interest for me. I had no interest in becoming starborn.
Trying to load the game on busy days was probably the biggest negative I can think of.
