Exactly right and saddening as well. Their growth strategy is clearly working because based on MAU graphs it seems like most Reddit users joined in the past 2-3 years which is when all this stuff started. I wouldn't be surprised if the average comment length is half of what it was even 5 years ago. A lot of the growth seems to have come from mobile users but mobile users are terrible from a comment quality perspective so I hope this ultimately backfires in some way though I'm not hopeful.
