I’m not sure what that says about the quality of the Memmy team or that of Reddit or both.

    Maybe it’s easier if all your resources aren’t slowed down by board meetings solely for the purpose of “how can we monetize this”

    That’s what happens when you put profit ahead of function. Putting the cart before the horse something something

      Pretty much this. It’s crazy how bloated the app is with a 1000 ways to monetize the shit out of the user (reddit premium, reddit coins, shop, NFT???)

      Like holy shit it’s unreal how bad the main app is compared to a clean experience like Apollo and Memmy

      It’s really depressing that you can’t just build good things that people need / like because it’s not always profitable to do so. Any time money gets into the conversation it becomes a nightmare. Every bit of a project just becomes this battle for the lowest bidder and lowest quality possible to achieve a minimum viable product in a way that leads to technical debt and an unsustainable code base.
