Genuinely reddit got a wholelot worse because of this and multiple other actions.

The quality of user dropped as the content became social media. You were less likely to get informative comments or even informed comments.

A lot of users jumped ship to fedi or gave up altogether. These older users would have been part of the selling point.

Popular feeds. Difficulty accessing r/all. Algorithmic feeds.

I actually did make an acount and revaanced the app to finish out a project I was getting advice from reddit on. The app sucks. Old was perfect. The app was showing days old stories on major subreddits, defaulting to "best" or "hot" but giving shit.

I remember when Victoria got fucked over and that was the highlight of the over commercialisation.

Do not use the app it sucks so much.

    And just to highlight this for OP's question: "How come there wasn’t a protest like that when they made even worse decisions?"

    A lot of users jumped ship to fedi or gave up altogether.

    Basically, everyone who would protest have left.
