I left Reddit forever because they were going out of their way to actively make the site worse for literally no other reason than corporate greed. Then they were unbelievably smug about it and insisted it was actually a good thing somehow. Then they tried to gloss over the whole thing by letting everyone play graffiti artist on a virtual wall for a few days, after which they pretended everything was normal again.

Fuck Reddit.

Went back recently and found that the "back" functionality was broken. Literally, going back out of a post didn't take me to the main feed, it brought me back to the new tab screen.

How does a site as big as reddit screw up basic navigation?

On the Reddit app you can’t even sort by most popular on your newsfeed, you’re stuck with just one sort for all your subs.

And how do they still not have something as basic as a preview button for posting comments? We have that here.
