That doesn't appear to be what users or mods want. Lots of people want more active development and moderation. Just this week there were large scale protest across the platform regarding Reddit admins not doing enough to stop the spread of dangerous COVID misinformation. Then Reddit released a rather bad statement refusing to give into user demands. They almost immediately went back on that statement and banned a big misinformation subreddit. It almost feels like they make decisions in a way to ensure they piss everyone off.

- typon 5y agoThats invisible stuff in the background. Yes it matters a lot, but the point still stands. Reddit struck a goldmine with their original UI, but that goldmine cant really be monetized to the extent their investors want, so they are trying their best to fix what isnt broken and failing.
