The only thing I wish I could do, is search through my upvotes and filter things by subreddit etc.
There is a dedicated upvote page as a tab on your profile. Not easily combined with subreddit filters without using addons, though. (Just a note, your profile's upvotes appear to be public. This is a toggle available in options)
Could you be more specific?
Last I heard Reddit was doing less than $10 mn / year in revenues. It's highly under-monetized, but it looks difficult to grow in 5 to 10 years to generating $150 million in annual profits to justify this valuation. I'm surprised Reddit stays so popular. I stopped using it ~8 years ago. The habit didn't stick with me (beyond a year or two).
you realize hacker news is just a destination subreddit right?
Here's a quick chart of the monthly number of submissions to Reddit over time (until April 2017): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d3kqAebZiUqmI-GbmvNY... At about the start of 2017, Reddit saw a noticeable increase in the activity growth rate, which investors love (although the biggest chunk occurred around October/November 2016, due to the U.S. Election) And here's the BigQuery to reproduce the aggregation:…
Reddit has an opportunity to do right everything that Twitter has done (and continues to do) wrong. It took me about ten years to figure out that Twitter is a cesspool of useless noise and ego. Everybody tries to outdo each other with noise and follower count. What Reddit does right is focus on topics , primarily, not personalities. (Although I actually like the new user profiles, since they tend to be secondary focu…
Reddit is only marginally better than twitter. * They're launching new user profiles that center around the user; see the Washington post's Reddit account * Reddit's model of communities is fundamentally broken. Each sub, unless STRONGLY curated like AskHistorians, develops its own hivemind. Post against the grain and receive downvotes, then take the downvote train as people LOVE to pile on downvotes. * Reddit's upvo…

Interesting observation, b/c one of the original value propositions of React's virtual dom model was faster rendering than most other frontend frameworks at the time. I wonder if it's gotten so complicated it lost that? If so, there are a number of other intentionally lightweight virtual dom frontend frameworks. Mithril, Riot, Preact, virtual-dom all come to mind, and there are a probably a few more.
React's virtual dom/diffing is certainly not "slow". It's not the tool that's the problem, but how it's used. There's also more to perceived slowness than how fast your library reconciles the DOM, e.g. I too often encounter pages that will "preload" all their assets behind stupid loading screens, ill-timed CSS animations, modals on top of modals, React Components that badly wrap jQuery plugins, leaked callbacks, … tl…

I haven't seen a single sub where CSS would add value. The worst example is r/science where colourful tags make it especially noisy.
....So turn it off? Reddit has a setting to disable custom CSS on subreddits, so it doesn't make sense why you'd force the subreddits not to have it.

Stick to the smaller technical subreddits.
Also the smaller local ones (for your Town/City/etc).
