I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.
About a quarter of the posts in my home feed are from subs I don’t subscribe to.
Social media is all about the “suggestions” now. Really pretty much every modern software will refuse to allow you to curate a feed, including subscription services like Netflix and Strava. I really don’t understand why.
