View submission: Announcing Consolidated Pinned Posts on Android
They said that if a sticky is changed or edited it resets to full-size for everyone. I took that to mean that it accounts for these sorts of situations.

it doesn't.
in one of the animal crossing subs i visit, there's a general Q&A sticky that only gets refreshed maybe once a month. users are expected to visit that thread every time they have a question. it's automatically sorted by new, and for the most part people who ask a question then scroll down to answer questions from others. it's not going to uncollapse because the post itself isn't being edited, even if hundreds of questions are being asked every day.
this change also explains why another AC sub i visit has stopped answering requests in the QR code sticky. it used to be if you were looking for a specific QR code, you would comment in the sticky and someone would come by within a day or 2 with a link to the code you were looking for. over the last couple of months, that sticky has completely died - people have stopped commenting in it because now no one gets an answer, ever. if an "ask here first" sticky is being automatically hidden to regulars of the sub, they have no way of knowing there are still people looking for help.
