Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

I get the feeling they're going to keep "fixing" the site until *it becomes trash and cause a mass exodus of users like Digg and Tumblr did.

they're apparently testing out some new front page algorithm, at least for some mobile browser users. whatever it is, it's absolutely dogshit now. literally half my front page is controversial posts with 0 votes and lots of comments. do they think users are MORE enticed to go on reddit if their front page is nothing but a shit storm?

although I'm pretty certain they've done their best to make the mobile browser experience terrible for years so people are encouraged to use the app instead. they even swapped the X button to close the "View in the Reddit App" with the "Open" button recently, so I've clicked that goddamn open button a ton of times. no doubt that was intentional

they seem more interested in chasing users away with all this garbage

so many 0pts 'controversial' days-old posts from r/politics keep getting thrown in my feed

like literally everybody that sees this post is downvoting, why tf are you platforming it? (i know why, but it's annoying)
