And there’s dumbasses on Reddit who defend this shit???
You gotta remember that there are tons of casual users (which probably outnumber 3rd party app users, if we’re being honest) that haven’t ever known anything else, and they see all this noise as an interruption to their day-to-day scrolling.
One of the subs I used to frequent most often (r/hockey) was full of users who were pissed that it was blacked out for the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs, so there was no live thread for the last (and biggest, most important) game of the season, and thought anyone who supported the blackout was just being whiny.
I’ve just accepted that Reddit’s base has shifted, its no longer what I remember it being, and I’m not a part of it.
