Kinda par for the course for Reddit. There was like a whole thing a while back about how they were monetizing the site, selling off data, etc. Anyone who stayed should expect this and more.
Would also be crazy if they allowed 3rd party apps that let you change how you interacted with comments. I think I had one that was swipe reply, so I didn’t have to tap anything at all. Whatcha get staying in a clearly money hungry platform I guess lol.
That might be my disconnect with the UI change, cause I wasn’t tapping anything to interact with comments, I was only doing that to do formatting, etc, and didn’t have that muscle memory. I do still think it’s a bit “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” in terms of where they’re going to put it, but again, that’s to be expected from that company at this point.
