I mean, to seriouspost for a minute, of course reddit could buy out an existing 3rd-party app or hire enough codecels to make a good app.

But they don't really care. Reddit is a powerhouse of attracting users. Reddit has gazillions of addicted everyday users. Reddit doesn't need a better app to attract and retain users, because reddit has all the users, creating content that attracts new and more-addicted users. Improving the user-experience is a "nice to have", not a "need to have", for reddit.

What reddit needs is not a better user experience, what reddit needs is better ways to monetize the users it has. Because reddit is currently not profitable. Its owners are paying money every month to keep it afloat, in the hopes that it will one day generate enough money to pay for itself.

The smelly basement-dwellers who spend 16 hours a day on reddit, conducting multiple debates over various subgenres of RPG figurine-painting, while simultaneously modding various rule 34 subs related to underage anime characters...nobody cares about them. And those are the only people complaining.

The 10 million children and olds who check reddit for 10 minutes at a time and who click on sponsored links--those are the people that reddit dot com cares about.

Reddit doesnt need to be profitable, its a great place for feds to churn out consensus.

If you think that the feds care about building consensus among the terminally-online loli addicts on reddit, then you are the joke.

Most of reddit is ai bot farms and federal agents of various stripes. Your insistence that there are gazillions of users is meaningless when the majority are shadowbanned into their own instance of reddit

Why would they risk letting anyone comment? Why not just let ai regurgitate content from the last two decades

they could have stayed operating it like they used to -- old.reddit.com style, 20 employees. no censorship beyond what the law demands.

of course then they might not have gained a billion dollar valuation. but in today's slightly higher interest regime nobody is willing to buy reddit anyway.
