Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

    So stop using it. Ffs, this place circle jerks over how bad that place is, and then you dumb mother fuckers keep going back. Move on already.

    it’s facebook….

    You don’t show full posts because then your team gets to count an ‘active’ user when people click to expand.

    Metrics becoming the goal 101 and active user growth is important to get investors to hold the bag for your VCs. Every action right now, that the VC money is getting scarce is aimed at making Reddit look like a profitable target for street investors so your VCs can cash out. Doesn’t matter if what you do isn’t sustainable, because you are the VCs bitch now and they want their payout before you crash and burn.

    The fact that crypto is listed on the side makes me wanna bump my head on the wall.

    The whole thing in general looks like a mobile app stretched to fit on a monitor. I mean, that’s how most websites are in 2023.

        Almost like when they replaced the reddit app with one that looked just like Instagram. Reddit has no originality I guess.

    Remember when they hid NSFW content from r/all and they said they would add a new filter that did contain the content?

    Now you can’t even select r/all from the drop down menu on their app. You have to open the sidebar, scroll all the way to the bottom, then select it. No way of setting it as the default. Classic algorithm push for advertisers.
