It's not so simple These "deadbeat users" are the ones generating the content.

And some of the deadbeats are us moderators who invest our time voluntarily to keep the subs tidy, handle the mod queues and answer questions etc. I dive into queue management using the Boost app on my phone durimg breaks away from my corporate laptop, which I won't use for such personal stuff. The official Reddit app is not as good as Boost for moderation.

Do they? Most content is reposts, news, or content from other sites.

I would suspect Reddit has done the maths. And saw that most content generators use their app or the website to post.

I'm going to say [citation needed] on the assumption Reddit is capable of doing math. They have almost never made a good decision.

Haven’t made good decisions yet literally one of the biggest sites on the internet. Those two things are mutually exclusive.

That's not correct. It's entirely possible they got their on accident. There are engineers in this thread who would know claiming they don't have a real good sense of why things work.

And every big decision they've made has made it worse, not better. Do you use new reddit?
