Reddit is removing the Direct Message feature, and all active conversations will be archived so you won’t be able to continue ongoing conversations. Reddit also deleted all bad reviews for their app awhile ago. Its rating went from 3.4 to 4.5 stars overnight.
By removing the language of “private” from the feature they can now sell your data without having to tell you about it
I did guess that much but I am still interested on what others were talking about and why is chat worse than PM, feature wise.
