As if you needed more reasons to not use Reddit, the mobile app now prioritizes newer and more controversial comments even when you’ve sorted by Best. Light on specifics, it has been noticed by others and a change was confirmed here: www.reddit.com/r/bugs/s/w1H...

I just hope that the day Reddit finally goes extinct, the actual useful info that shows up on there can be preserved instead of being lost to time. Maybe we can also finally realize that the idea of one central forum replacing independent forums was a shitty one.

I think I hope so too. I have been using it since 2006 and it’s been bad for over a decade now, probably longer. The only good way to use it is to use it like a forum platform and visit specific subreddits intentionally.

But I agree with your last point. I think any online social community that gets too big ends up awful. Reddit tried to pitch the idea of subreddits being enclaves but it just never worked out that way. There’s no real walls between communities, so all of reddit is just all of reddit

Indeed. The info on there can still be valuable when you find it, but boy is the discourse not worth a shit anymore. If it was just one of those AskJeeves type sites where you can only respond with an actual answer to the question being asked, I'd be more happy with it.
