The comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.

It's pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn't good is because a good experience for their users isn't their goal.

They are in tension with the more pressing goal of extracting revenue. But how do you extract revenue from a site that's mostly just "user content" + "ads" in an era when ad revenue is plummeting?

Maybe if they increase the prices on Reddit Gold?
