They do? Who likes this? Who uses *Reddit* for this?

The users that treat it as any other social media site. Bios on their userpage, tons of self-promotion, real name IDs, use of chat, following other users, etcetera...

The majority of these new Reddit users are literal kids aged between 13-16 who aren't well-versed in the internet and discover Reddit by watching YouTube videos, they exclusively post on subs like /r/DankMemes, /r/Teenagers, /r/Gaming, and /r/PewdiepieSubmissions and have little to no interest in any other subreddits or topic.
However, since these kids are so numerous and are easy to make profit out of, from a marketing perspective the Reddit management feels the need to appeal to them by turning Reddit into another Discord and Instagram social media chat site, because these kids who didn't knew what Reddit was before 2018 or don't know how the internet works simply don't give a shit to any changes.
This is the same thing that happened to Facebook, in order to gain more traffic, user data, and money, they made the site an ugly mess to appeal to their main demographic while ignoring the other users who fucking hate it, but for Reddit this easily exploitable demographic is 14 year old wholesome memers from TikTok, instead of 48 year old conspiracy geezers from Facebook.
