But I can tell you who they are catering to: People who scroll through subreddits scanning photos. If you go to meme focused subreddit, the new version is pretty good. If you go to a discussion focused subreddit, the old version is better.&lt;p&gt;Try &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.reddit.com&amp;#x2F;r&amp;#x2F;Watches&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.reddit.com&amp;#x2F;r&amp;#x2F;Watches&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt; in an incognito window to see it in the new Reddit, then try it old reddit.</text><parent_chain><item><author>baby</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t understand why they&amp;#x27;re doing this:&lt;p&gt;1.

<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>zests</author><text>I understand it in the sense that I can conceptualize it. I just have a hard time believing it is really best for business. They determine how much money they make per user and find that signed in users make more money. Signed in users on their mobile app (users inside of their walled garden) make the most money. If they lose a couple users trying to convert everyone to using their mobile app, so be it.&lt;p&gt;Having an account and using their mobile app makes it easier to track you, easier to show you ads and likely worth more per advertisement.</text><parent_chain><item><author>baby</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t understand why they&amp;#x27;re doing this:&lt;p&gt;1.
