It works fine for me. There was little to lose from Reddit at that point anyway because the quality had already gone through the floor. This was the catalyst to make people wake up and leave.

there was a lack of polished mobile apps that felt familiar to people that wanted to browse and shit post.

I'd argue that's a good thing, I'd rather have posts that aren't shit.

Unfortunately that is starting to seep back in here now.
