    There’s apparently another issue that’s depriorotizing “niche” subs in the recommendation algorithm, that some mod claimed was a bug.

    It’s pretty obvious, they’re just prioritizing generic engagement for profit.

      When they killed RIF, I went to the mobile site a handful of times. There was crap from subs I didn’t subscribe to for a reason on my front page. Super annoying. I stopped browsing at that point, and only go back for niche subs

      My email is still subscribed to reddit sending me recommendations. It’s always the most boring posts of unrelated subreddits that have like 6 votes.

      The company is so incompetent it’s astonishing.
