How you use the platform, and the specific tools used to interact with it, are varied, so experiences for otherwise similar users can be radically different. I like it very much, with restrictions: on the desktop I only use the old experience, and on mobile I only use(d) a third party app that jailed the noise and rabble so I could enjoy my subscribed subreddits almost exclusively. I care very much about interaction with communities and very little about using Reddit or any platform to be an end-all be-all comprehensive news source and efficient time killer. It's that wide variability that explains (1) how opinion differs so much and (2) why people are up-in-arms about killing 3rd party apps.
