Ditto. Way to chase off the 1% of users who actively participate. You know nobody is writing huge text posts and informative comments on their shitty mobile client. They've forgotten what makes this place a draw and it's not just picture/video.

Exactly. The reason why i keep coming back here after getting bored of other social media sites is because it's not just a stream of pictures/videos but has discussions attached to everything, and informative content, answers to questions, etc. When you chase off the people that have been contributing for the past decade, you're gonna end up with a bot farm (which is maybe what they actually want, so they can finally 100% control the conversation and just attempt to sway casual user's opinions based on who pays the most).
