What is your biggest frustration with Reddit right now?

1. Any post older than 18 hours is dead.

2. When I started using reddit, it felt like I was interacting with a community of individuals, each with their own slightly different background, opinion and perspective. Like going to a bar during happy hour in a city I've never been to. Now when I use reddit it frequently feels like I'm interacting with one single individual whose every opinion or expression has been carefully shaped through years of trial and error to optimize the amount of upvotes he/she receives. Like that fake friend who pretends to like whatever the popular kids like until a week after they stop liking it.

3. ‘Promoted’ ads now look similar to real posts and I keep getting tricked into reading them.

4. The fact it's changing towards a social media format (profiles, them bugging me for my account verification all the time). Vote/post manipulation/social engineering/shilling/inauthentic content. That and there doesn't seem to be anything new. It's all the same old shit sometimes Edit: I said phone number to validate my account, but it's mainly other things like location data, validate email, update your profile etc that make reddit less anonymous

5. I can see the title of a reddit thread and predict the top 5 comment chains because it's just the same shit over and over. I think the people playing out the same conversations as previous iterations of a thread is worse than the repost itself.

6. The growing concern that Reddit will become the new "Facebook" and lose some of the features and attributes users like best about it.

7. I've spent a LOT. I mean a lot of time on Reddit. It was a huge vast world I was sure would never run dry. I kinda feel like I've seen it all now.

11. Finding an interesting thread and clicking on it only to see that its 90% full of people spouting memes, smartass comments and quotes they heard from a tv show that aren't related to the topic at all or are related but snowball into a pissing contest of who can say the most meme related shit first

12. v.reddit.com is designed to prevent hot-linking. People would post youtube/gfycat/imgur links on reddit, which meant if a reddit user shared that content they would be sharing a 'competitors' website instead bringing traffic back to reddit. So they've designed this intentionally difficult-to-share video player in the hope that people will share the entire reddit post, instead of just hot-linking the video specifically. Their dream is once the new user sees the comments (and ads) they'll go 'wow' and signup 15 new accounts right then. I get why they do it, but what upsets me is they're doing it so poorly. Videos can't be shared without comments, the video player is too simple (no frame by frame, speed control, linked timestamps, etc), and if you scroll down it shrinks to an un-watchable size, sticks to the top of your window, then keeps looping the video. And if you pause the video while it's sticky it stays sticky, but if you scroll to the top then back down it loses it's stickiness. So my normal reaction to opening a reddit video thead is: * scroll down, fuck the video is sticky * scroll back up * pause video so it won't follow me * scroll down again It's so fucking annoying. You can't read comments and watch a video at the same time and even if I could then I certainly can't do it when you shrink the video to be 1" tall. There's no reason for it to be this way, it's just terrible.
