This is a popular opinion on HN, but I'll state again that reddit is basically unusable. I still check a few subreddits using old.reddit.com but the mobile app they constantly shove down your throat is bloated trash and the redesign is garbage. It's inevitable that something better comes along.

Agreed. And its use in discussions unfortunately adds no value. Imagine that two people are arguing about something. You walk up, interrupt them, and state that one of them is wrong but because the wrong person is stupid, they don't realize they are wrong.
Will your comment change anything? Of course not, both people arguing will just assume that the other one is the stupid person.
I don't know what to do about it, but its use by lay people bothers me. It's ironically Dunning-Kruger.
