But *god* it makes me want to quit modding and using this website every time reddit does something like this and just lies through their teeth about how it's "for my benefit".
And yet you havent. And neither have I. And many others with us. I guess that's what they're banking on.

It seems like a poor thing to bank on unless reddit expects to never face a serious competitor.
Admittedly, they haven't really had to contend with a serious threat so far, but we're seeing more and more attempts in the last few years, and social media sites supplant one another all the time (that's how reddit became popular in the first place!).
And whereas a few years ago I would have likely stayed with reddit when a competitor showed up, this stuff has had a pretty significant effect in the sense that, today, I would jump ship in a heartbeat if I saw a good alternative - and so would every other mod I know.
