I agree with this statement. I was a heavy user of "Redditisfun" app for ten years. The amount of reading and learning was a lot. But ever since they killed 3rd party apps I haven't use Reddit, the original app is unbearable. And I feel like I'm getting dumber as I don't exercise that access to information enough now. I've just made a Lemmy account and trying to find my supply here, so far so good :)
Reddit is and has been going downhill fast. There were benefits to it being embraced by the masses but also huge downsides. The admins made decisions that negatively affected the experience of using Reddit (like refusing to let subs disable voting even when it made alot of sense) because they wanted to maximize engagement by any means necessary. But taking reddit public was the final nail in the coffin. Now they hand out temporary and permanent bans not because their rules were actually violated but to protect their stock price and corporate reputation.
