View submission: Announcing Consolidated Pinned Posts on Android
Why?
Because they have provided ZERO evidence of what they mean. Are people "more engaged" because they are enjoying content and interacting productively, or are they just there desperately searching for info that is in sticky posts that they aren't allowed to see?

they're "more engaged" because they're scrolling through the page faster and hitting the ad spots sooner. that's the only engagement reddit's looking for.

My guess is that they're more likely to vote, comment and submit content to the subreddit, whereas they are more likely to bounce if they see a big "RULES, READ BEFORE POSTING!" thread at the top.
I don't think anyone is searching for the rules or info in most stickies, honestly, let alone desperately searching.
