I honestly wonder what goes on behind Reddit. It's been pretty terrible since the beginning. I don't mean to be insulting to anyone in particular, I know how projects go, and I love the site. But speedy or well done, it is not.

There's no question they've sabotaged their webapp in favor of the app where there's no adblock and they can send push notifications for profit. Been a user since 2009 and still use a ton for everything, but it's quickly grown more painful by the day.

DST bugs?

One of my favorite quotes because it is so hard for me to swallow
> People will choose convenience over quality any day
- CEO of iHeart Media
I am neither a fan of iHeart Media nor that idea, but I think it may be correct. If true, an explanation for Reddit's poor quality is that they made media consumption convenient, and user hostile behavior goes unpunished because there is nowhere else as convenient as reddit.
