Could you elaborate on how and why the ADA doesn’t apply to Reddit as a website? I’ve been wondering about this ever since Spez admitted the official app isn’t accessible and they seemingly have no plans to make it so.

The ADA only requires accessibility in websites if it's a government site, or if it's the site of a company providing a "public service," such as a bank or a hotel.

Here's the ada.gov page about it: https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/
