View submission: What We’re Working on in 2024
The trouble is they have suffered consequences to content/moderation quality. Reddit is filled with even more drivel than it was before the API change and mass departure of mods. Subs have less distinction and niche than ever. That probably doesn’t hurt site-wide metrics though so they won’t notice/care.

This is exactly the problem; as long as engagement stays the same their focus will be on monetization. Having as many users in the official app as possible certainly makes that easier.
I think the official app is frustrating to use and I still lament the loss of Apollo despite Narwhal 2 being a great app in its own right. But, asshole that I am, I’m still on Reddit every day. I am part of the problem.
