Reddit has been dying for a decade or longer, it's just now the people who saw it through all the previous crap, and tried to make it have some semblance of the site it once was, have up and left, leaving it to the brainless hordes.

Joycon drift, and all other thumbstick drift, is already a solved problem.

1. Use bushings that actually have some abrasive resistance and aren't softer than a fingernail.
2. Use a non-contact based sensor to determine the XY position of the stick. Hall effect, optical, strain gauge, whatever, we've had the tech for 50 years.

The reason why they haven't done this is one very simple reason: $$$

Keep in mind the users left on reddit aren't really the cream of the crop. They're the ones who say stuff like "bruhhh this app is shit" fully unaware that reddit is a website first and foremost

Reddit is competing with Instagram and TikTok for the dumbest slice of the Internet. If you can think, you're no longer welcome there, and are probably a liability to their advertising efforts

Have you been to digg recently? It's a buzzfeed clone. Just because the brand is still around doesn't mean it's the same product at all

That was before the whole clown show. The valuation cut was dated May 31st
