Recently Reddit introduced a new kind of user profile where you can make text posts to your own profile. It got a huge amount of negative feedback (although I'm coming around to it, personally), and many obvious features, such as being able to mix a user's posts and comments together like on the old profile page, were missing. They claimed they were all-hands-on-deck adding these highly requested features, and even now, over a month later, the only thing that's changed is a slightly bigger hyperlink to the comments page. That to me sounds like fixing what's not broken while ignoring what is.

It (rightfully) copped a lot of flack because it is a terrible idea: Reddit users don't want another user-driven/user focused Facebook clone, they want a community and topic driven platform.
I'm hoping that, like some of Reddit's other weird ideas, it kind of just gets abandoned and left to die.
