It took some time for me to realize that not finding a continuous stream of new content was a feature and not a flaw. It meant that there was no algorithm feeding me an endless stream of crap in hopes of keeping me glued to the screen. It meant I could close the app and move on with my day and check back much later. That realization made me embrace it.
Agreed. Reddit became worse when it started forcing unrelated content on you at every opportunity. It became hard to recommend to friends when each time I would realise I had forgotten what new reddit and the official app were like.
