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.

    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.
