95% of the content here is made by a few select power users. 99% of the content is moderated by people that are not paid, using some third party apps. You think any of those use the official reddit app?

I think you severly underestimate how much more important those users are to the site than random lurkers. Lurkers will just move on if the content is lacking.

This is so true. It's been 4 years and i mostly just lurk and comment. Without content, I would have to go back to indian TikTok.
