View submission: Announcing Consolidated Pinned Posts on Android

During this time period, we found redditors were spending more time hanging out and reading posts within a community where this experiment was enabled

Isn't that obvious? Most users are not interested if the rules of subreddits are changing, that's why we need to pin these posts. If mod announcements weren't pinned, they would likely die in /new/ because nobody would click on them.

Redditors are already known for never reading stickied posts. You just made the problem worse:

• Users need to click TWO TIMES to open a post that is supposed to be more important than the others.

• Mod posts now look like those annoying Reddit banners that nobody wants to click

• The title is now interrupted when it reaches the end of the line, so users can't even glance at the title to understand what changed. If a title says `After listening to your feedback, we added a new rule! Reposts are now banned`, users now see `After listening to your feedback, we added a...`

This change is terrible
