They’re developing for ads. I’ll quote myself from the previous week.
Reddit is only going to get worst over the next year. I came across this article a couple days ago while searching for early news coverage of the (then planned) blackout:
Reddit has launched Contextual Keyword Targeting and Product Ads, to help advertisers reach new and valuable audiences.
The article reads like an ad, but what I got out of it was Reddit is going to have more tracking and intrusive advertising. Not a good experience.
I lost the link, but someone looked at their job listings a few days ago. They are looking to hire people in machine learning w.r.t advertising.
And the community has been browbeating them for 8 years for better mod tools. r/AskHistorians had a long post (mirror) about Reddit’s empty promises. Reddit dropping the ball on accessibility features is the norm given their history.
