    Well, more specifically, they pissed off their community, and then infuriated their mods, community developers, and enthusiasts, and basically pushed them away. That’s the part of the community that more or less makes Reddit what it is. It’s dying - or at the very least, what it once was is gone for good, and it’s becoming something… less.

      Exactly. Reddit was great because of an bunch of people doing heavy lifting in the background. Reddit Enhancement Suite is still needed after almost two decades because Reddit devs can’t make a good website

        Lol still it blows my mind that, at least on desktop, you are FORCED to use a 3rd party tool suite to make the interface not be complete ass… and that it’s been this way for YEARS.
