> I don't think they've introduced a single feature that makes it better since they added subreddits
I think they've added plenty.
* Text only posts.
* Polls.
* Being able save individual posts instead of just threads.
* Friends. I use it to follow a few people who make stuff outside of Reddit but post intermittently on their respective subreddits. I don't use it at all for following my actual friends.
* Various features that prevent one subreddit from raiding others. np links are one, but there are others.
* Subreddit CSS.
* Mods being able to hide scores and the downvote button on their subreddit. It's a shame this isn't something done at the API level, as it means apps just ignore it.
* Suggested comment sorting. Can mitigate the natural tendency for a group to become an echochamber.
* Some of the features of reddit Gold are pretty good but considering you have to pay for them, they ought to be.
* Buying rewards is probably the least bad monetization scheme they could have come up with.
* While their image and video hosting is kinda crappy, it is there and it seems like imgur had to get less aggressive about forcing you to get an account.
