I agree with you here. Share holders are never going to be satisfied. The numbers always need to be going up which means new ways to generate profits must be found. Ads, subs, micro transactions, etc - nothing is off the table.

Wait. What? LinkedIn? What's the draw over there?

Same. Always kinda talked myself out of commenting on reddit because my comments would never be engaged with. Felt like I missed the boat there. Time to start over and build a new community.

Yeah. On Android there is Jerboa. Pretty bare bones but seems to get the job done. Hopefully it will be updated and flushed out.

Thanks. Yeah. After crashing several times it seemed to clear up with the odd hang here and there. Kept thinking it was going to crash again but it struggled on.

Oooo, didn't know you could get it to close after the game starts.

[–] Debs@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks. I crashed about 4 times in 15 min and then things seem to clear up. It still hangs from time to time but hasn't crashed.

Yeah. I think this is pretty much the accepted narrative. Kill the 3P apps -> Consolidate the user base -> Serve everyone adds -> Hopefully turn a profit -> Go public or sell the company -> Founders/Investors cash out and profit.

The collateral damage is that they risk killing the culture that makes Reddit a place people want to congregate.
