What are some example "general audience" features added these last 5 years?
- Design that is much less customizable via userscripts/CSS
- More emphasis on users rather than communities (enhancements to user pages, profile pictures that are displayed in comments)
- Garbage native media hosting alongside worse handling of offsite (youtube/imgur) media hosting
- Inline gifs in comments
- Algorithms that emphasize clickbait
- Algorithms that try to guess what you want to see rather than letting you tell it what you want to see
- Suppression of content deemed unsavory by advertisers
- Emphasis on mobile design over desktop design
- Backward incompatible changes
Sounds like a great meeting summary but did it yield results?
