    For me it’s how explicitly for-profit it has become. This manifests in a lot of things like:

    • rampant advertisements
    • dark patterns to get the users hooked
    • you literally cannot use the mobile site because it nudges you to install the app at all times
    • new UI is garbage
    • misinformation is freely allowed to fester to not drive down revenue

    It has pretty much become like Facebook and it really sucks.

    • Closed source (honestly, I’d rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of…)
    • It’s annoying, slow and tedious
    • Works better in Chrome™ (I can’t even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
    • Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma…)
    • It’s a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
    • Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes…
    • The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
    • Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
    • Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
    • Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
    • Dark patterns everywhere
    • They block Tor users
    • (I can think of many more but need I go on?)

        Yeah, maybe OP has something to do with them? They teach to stay away from MLM everywhere, it’s not just reddit. And that’s positive, because it’s a scam
