    Don’t underestimate the power of user experience shaping.

    The front page is how most interact with the site, and helped it grow. The front page algorithm is bastardized to hell and back now, and unless you’re on old.reddit, you cant sort by Hot by default.

    Reddit is strangling itself to death with how fiercely it’s trying to corral users in various directions. Every HeGetsUs post they force users to look at shoves good content one rank down.

    This has an effect on the site overall.
