Sites like Reddit are getting worse. Outside of Calgarypuck, every site I go to is objectively worse than it was 5 10 years ago.
The problem now is these sites are monopolies in their niche. But there is no real reason to regulate or do anything about it. So what that reddit is forcing users onto their crappy app to see more ads? Reddit isn’t critical infrastructure or a daily necessity. But it is so big that is basically functions are a monopoly. Same Twitter. Same with Facebook. Same with with YouTube.
I don’t know what the solution is, it’s just frustrating knowing that the golden era of the internet is behind us.

Any good business should care about accessibility. The Reddit app sucks on that front.
