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.
That's not true at all. There's a distinct difference in effort between a person who left but opened the door to observe the dumpster fire and a person who goes back every day for content.
It's the people like OP who are killing reddit. Insulting them for going back to look at the damage is backwards.
