Memmy developers were able to build a better app in a month than Reddit’s team was able to build in ten years (lemmy.world)

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

I think it’s fairly obvious with what reddit did to alien blue when they bought it, that they don’t intend for the app to be user friendly or an app that people even like. They simply wanted to monetize it to hell and make it earn them the most $$$. That’s all it’s about with that company.

In case you aren’t aware, Alien Blue was the Apollo back in the day. It was the OG best third party iOS app for Reddit. Reddit bought the app and totally shit on it by removing everything good about it.
