It helps that their app is absolute shit.
No, i don’t want to see whatever popular fluff is out there while I’m browsing the things I’m interested in, fuck off.
I only use Reddit for the nsfw stuff - it’s still the best platform - but every time I’m in between pictures on my account where I’m only subbed to porn and Reddit shoehorns posts of people asking for legal advice, students looking for university housing tips in a city 100 km from here, highly inspiring LinkedIn video from mademesmile or whatever pedestrian trash… man. Just let me wank.
Their official app is utter garbage, if it weren’t I may have stayed. People like me have decided that if the Reddit experience has to be so bad, it’s better not to be on reddit at all.
Imagine your favourite burger joint from now on only allowed you to enter from the back alley where it smells like piss and walls are mouldy - then once you get in all burgers have an added layer of spam and Nutella that you can’t opt out of.
