  Letting gallowboob “moderate” the basically the whole front page was an insane decision. Some of those guys were selling product placement.

  The centralization of power to few mods was always a problem, but smaller communities got by.

  The huge quality drop came when Spez felt he missed the IPO wave around 2018 and decided to growth hack the site. Then they finally killed most of them too with the API drama.

  Popular and moving away from hot to best was also bad. They horribly failed to discipline abuse from the_donald for years…

  New reddit is still not even usable from a phone. It crashes frequently and i swaer to God it only shows like 8 posts and just fucking loops through them (how have thry not noticed this, I only check 4 subreddits and its unbearable).

      Which I can’t even (be bothered to) install as it sends you to the play store. Which doesn’t exist on Amazon fire tablets.
