    It’s some combination of developer incompetence- they’ve basically never put out any decent running code- and intentional resource use for the ridiculous amount of tracking they run. Reddit tracks everything about your browsing habits as well as actively loads ads in the background. It’s entire purpose was never for quality user experience, it was for revenue generation (which 3rd party apps get in the way of)
