Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.
They're thick in the "ads bring us more money than making improvements" phase of corporate bullshit now.
Reddit still can't make a better app than the ones made by solo developers who just did it as a passion project, but they've got enough money to throw around for a Superbowl ad spot and an entire ad campaign on YouTube.
their mobile app isn't even their own base code. they bought out Alien Blue, which was one of the earliest and arguably best mobile apps for Reddit, and relaunched it as their own. all they had to do was not fuck that one up and they would have straight up driven the other popup 3rd party apps out of business by just being good and official. but of course, reddit must always rise to their incompetence.
It's so painful to look at anymore, lol.
