Reddit’s disrespectful design

If the changes are driven by their investor's desire to somehow monetise it, then this must be part of a longer term plan. So two questions:

1. How well is this working for them 2. If the answer to 1. is "not very", how long will they stick to this strategy.

They've been going at it for a couple of years now, so I imagine they're approaching the moment when they have to reassess how well things are going.

I wonder if we'll see a change of direction any time soon.

I downloaded the app alright. Just not theirs. Apollo for iOS is such a pleasure to use compared to the Reddit app. They can’t even get the app experience right.

Apollo is probably one of the highest quality iOS and iPadOS apps around, Reddit or otherwise. The developer is super responsive to requests or criticism, and the app just works insanely well. It doesn’t have quite the same feature set as some of the other 3rd party android Reddit apps, like Sync, but everything on the app is exceptionally well designed and thought out.

I'd assume it's going well. They aren't backing down in the slightest.
