@ShredderFeeder @caseynewton They might change strategy if it affects their valuation for IPO for any reason. Would have to do it ASAP, though. But caring seems out of the picture.
History shows that once people get disgusted enough or see a better alternative, they migrate away from platforms, so this could be the beginning of the end. The Reddit official mobile apps have bad UX and an excess-surveillance reputation, so even users not protesting are about to suffer from that.

@ShredderFeeder @caseynewton Agreed. Many of the smartest people I followed there got here before I did. The chronological timeline is a relief too.
Once Twitter trends was gamified, then broken, that platform lost a lot of its realtime superpowers. Plus they bought and killed off Nuzzel, which was the best timeline news-link extraction tool.
