The thing that amazes me the most about Reddit is the site feels as if it has not changed in over a decade. I realize there is a new UI and small changes here and there but fundamentally it feels the same. I am amazed the amount of money they have raised given how little has changed. Equally impressive that they have never added any new substantial features. Something that comes to mind is how often people will search only Reddit for product reviews. Would be interesting if Reddit had built something to make this more streamlined, throw in ads along with it.
- madeofpalk 3y agoThe reason why reddit feels like a better places for product reviews is because of how organic it appears. The moment you make something more 'streamlined' for that, the less organic and useful it feels for users, and the easier it's able to be gamed.
- infecto 3y agoCertainly but my point being that Reddit has raised a lot of capital and still has no idea how to be truly profitable.
- colordrops 3y agoThat's a frog slowly boiled in water speaking. Dialog was far more intelligent and less censored back then. And the UI was not such an overwrought mess.
- hypeatei 3y agoIt has changed a lot, for the worse. There was a huge subreddit purge for non "shareholder friendly" topics (e.g. suicide, watchpeopledie, etc..) a while back. The new web UI is an absolutely horrid mess that takes forever to load and doesn't work properly.
- deadbolt 3y agoWeird to use removing the "watchpeopledie" subreddit as an example of ways it's changed for the worse. I agree that the new UI is terrible though.
