The way it’s worded, it does sound like /r/all is the experiment they’re referring to.
But I think it makes more sense if they’re referring to an experiment involving /r/all. I remember reading months ago that they wanted to remove it, maybe they are referring to an A/B testing experiment (remove it for some people and not for others) there.
Yeah, that makes sense. They had an experiment to see if they could increase ad revenue by removing the all-feed, and now it’s concluded and it turns out that yes indeed, enshittification rolls on.
I cannot imagine staying on a service that is openly admitting running experiments on its users to make them as addicted as possible. I guess it’s a boiling frog kind of deal.

They said they wanted to remove r/popular a few months ago.
But it looks like they were referring to r/all this entire time.
No, it is clarified within the thread that /r/all will stop working “after the rollout is complete”
You’re replying to the wrong comment there. This isn’t about whether they’ll remove it or not.
Apparently I am, meant to reply to the person pointing their browser there , sorry
