Sorry, who asked for this?
You guys seem hellbent on focusing on stuff *no one* has fucking asked for. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
You’ve destroyed the mobile app too. Feedback is *never* taken into account anymore. Screw you guys seriously.

This is such bullshit. If I didn't genuinely care about my communities, I'd be stepping down from all my subreddits and just walking away from the site altogether. And of course, the comments are locked on the /r/modnews post about it. There are mod tools that we've been begging for literally for years and instead we get stupid shit like this that's only going to make modding that much more difficult. I'm so over it.

We'll probably get Stories, Snaps and Clubhouse in Reddit next...

Oh it is. Just not the feedback from users.

Reddit is the new Spotify. Remove stuff that people are interested in and that actually works, and fill it with useless garbage literally NO ONE EVERY asked for.

one of the big reasons we posted this early was to give users time to digest the feature and share feedback
That is, to attract all of the outrage initially before expecting us to just put up with it because they don't intend to ever change it back. They almost certainly know that the majority of the existing userbase either hates it or doesn't use the site enough to really care what they do to it.

Software development in a nutshell
"We need X feature"
"why?"
"Just do it, users will be every bit as excited as us for this! No we didn't ask them, we are the smart ones and clearly we already know what they want. "
"Why don't they like it?"

Seriously. I can barely use the mobile app this morning.

I know that the new website is still buggy and incomplete, but honestly it's more important that they create a new feature that broadcasts to everyone when you're posting from the toilet. How can they really compete with other social media, otherwise?

My guess the group that are most favored by this new addition are stalkers and harassers. So Good Job Reddit.
I see zero positives with this awful change.
