Comment on Reddit’s getting more popular—and profitable

I have no clue how people use reddit anymore. If I open the app I am greeted with an unrecognisable mess of stuff I never asked for. Sorting is fucked, my frontpage contains stuff I don’t care for and everything seems to be yelling at me for attention causing me to close the app again.
For me it’s the constant suggestions of other communities and posts on my feed of joined subs.
Next thing I knew my feed was slowly filling up with rage bait, which I never had a problem with a third party app, and I’d close the app angrier and outraged than when I started.
It’s nicer here, lol.
There’s still third party apps on Android that still work once you patch in your own API key and on the web, old reddit still works.

I remember trying to convince a book sub that “two weeks” is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.
Their argument “don’t come here and you won’t be spoiled”
Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called “thoughts on Wally-Woo’s death”
