To be fair, I recall some ex-Mozilla developer claiming that the Firefox codebase is indeed full of technical debt (over 20 years) and pretty hard to modernize

Imagine the horror of not having to sift through tens of ads just to read a single paragraph of text, and not being constantly nagged by full screen popup video ads...

I would consider Reddit a bit more than a `tiny internet forum`, even thought many topic-specific subreddits are way less useful than an actual forum would be... The problem with mods is that some of them behave badly enough and go on power
