When you think of it, I find it amazing that solo, capable Devs managed to create far more beautiful, performant and functional apps than reddit's whole team comprised on hundreds of devs.
The solo devs knew that making a usable experience for the users was most important.
Solo, capable devs usually care for the product they create and the community they form way more than for the profits they promised their shareholders - they pour love and time and creativity into something they enjoy and want to share with the rest of the world, they listen to feedback and adress concerns, and that does make a huge difference.
Spez on the other hand cares only for how much cash he can squeeze out of reddit by any means, whether it hurts the "product" or its users in the long run or not. There is no "love and care" for reddit and redditors, just corporate greed.
Nothing lasts forever. Especially when it's purposely destroyed from the inside out.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
