I use a work account there on old.reddit on the desktop only.

The content there is [Picture](dae think that XY or Z should have / have not happened?) Or some variation of a question meant to drive engagement. The Minecraft and marvel studios subs are prime examples.

That's all it is now. No higher quality content except in a few niche subs.

Hopefully folks will continue to move away.
