App is garbage

I have been using the 9gag app for a couple years and in that time it has just gotten worse and worse. Aside from the usual crashes and comments taking sometimes minutes to load, the app now no longer works for me at all. Every time I open it it immediately freezes and crashes.

Aside from that the posts are worse than ever as well. There was always reposts but now sometimes you will see a post and scroll down a bit and then see the exact same post. Everything you see on this that is even remotely funny is stolen from reddit. The only reason I used to like it was because it was fairly easy to get the top comment but now a days the same 5 or so people pretty much get top comment every time so theres really no point in bothering anymore.

9gag has what are called "admin posts" which are posts stolen from reddit and posted by an admin account which instantly gives them 300 upvotes which puts them on the trending page with no comments at all (which makes them easy to pick out). Pretty much every post you will see is an admin post. Because of this, it is impossible to get your post past the fresh page so dont even bother. All of my posts get like 100 upvotes and then die out and Ive posted 50+ original posts.

Tl;dr use reddit instead
