Did you miss the part where it took them years to get a functional video player and it's still the worst one you'll likely ever use?
- Arkhaine_kupo 3y agoAgain, I am pretty sure that is an issue of priorities. If reddit puts two juniors working on the video player and then has half the team working on making the stupid profile pictures for users that is not an issue of developer talent. I have 0 doubt that there are really good devs at reddit, and I am also sure they are being made to work on monetisation shit and not on fixing mod tools, video player, bot detection and power user options which would make the app 1000% times better
- IgorPartola 3y agoSo it doesn’t matter if they have any good developers or not. By your logic they will never put out a good product. I guess you just found a way for Reddit to save a ton off payroll: let go of all senior developers and hire a bunch of cheap code monkeys as the result will be exactly the same.
- Arkhaine_kupo 3y ago> By your logic they will never put out a good product. For their Customers they will. Their customers are ad agencies. What they will never make a good product is for its users because the goals of reddit the company and the userbase are opposed.
- lawn 3y agoOr the horrid mobile client? Or the horrid web redesign? Maybe they do have fantastic devs, but it sure don't show in what users interact with.
- verall 3y agoIt's not functional most of the time, still
- doxeddaily 3y agoAlso not to mention the site regularly fails to even serve a page! Like it's a bunch of text guys, this isn't that hard in 2023. No reason reddit should be going down as often as it does.
