    Also they killed off the only good idea they had in years: Reddit Public Access Network.

    Shut it down because a lot of people complained about seeing random DJs and dog enthusiasts in their feed, whom I don’t blame cause not everyone is into livestreams. But it was also a great way for anyone to get an audience with little effort, and entirely reddit’s fault that they spammed it way too much at people who weren’t even subscribed to /r/PAN. For a brief moment it was an amazing time, though.

        I think that was part of the problem too. None of the 3rd party apps supported it, so all you’d see is the complaints, making people hate it even more. If 3rd party app users wanted to participate in /r/PAN, you had to use the desktop site.

        Personally I think it should have been spun off into it’s own website. Would have solved the complaint issue.
