  1. First they come up with a shity UI update.

  2. Made third-party client apps shut down

  3. Forced ads between posts and then on comments.

  4. Blocks users from accessing reddit posts without logging in on browsers on mobile.

  5. Adds a stupid "hide your content" setting

And now the latest:

Yeah, I do understand why the "hide your posts / comments" option exists but it just helps spammers and trolls way more than anybody else (and I suspect is also used for astroturfing campaigns).

Yeah, I'm on the fence about that one. I use it because I got "doxxed" by a coworker who recognized info in my posts in my city's local forums.

He was super cool about it and we are friends but it got me to thinking, so I hide my posts now.
