I use scrolller as a new and fresh way to get content from reddit. I'm not here for a new "social media platform" I'm here to see scrolling pictures. I don't care to interact with anyone. so while your new features are costing you a ton of money they are providing exactly zero value for me. I've been receiving these Building Scrolller mails for some time now and IMO there has not been a single piece of good news to come out of it. It's all just doing the same thing any other media aggregate does: inflate themselves with useless features until its too much money and too much unnecessary extra stuff so no one wants it and they leave.
We are working on these features to make sure scrolller can exist for a long time as an independent service. You are right that scrolller is a great way to view content from Reddit. We owe much of our success to that fact alone and that much of these new features do nothing to make that core function better, but you are overlooking the fact that all of these are important to get people to upload their own fresh new content to Scrolller.
These content creators need to be able to interact with and monetize those that follow and enjoy their content. Building these will lay the framework to provide not just Reddit's content but new novel content many people will enjoy.
I would love to continue the conversation and hear exactly how you use scrolller and some of the issues you might face. We are a team made of people who use old scrolller and new scrolller. Msg us at contact@scrolller.com
I feel that you are abandoning what you describe to be what brought your site success. It took all the "extra" out of reddit. made it just simple scrollling images no comments, no arguments. That's an award winning idea. Something I'm willing to pay for. now you are putting stuff into it which negates the good things about scrolller: no advertising, no social features, just a highly customizable image stream. I don't need another place to go get #ads and #challenges. Right now in its current state scroller is really really good. It needs some performance enhancements. what it needs is incentives for users to sign up for premium not for investors to pay for feature they think users want.
If the increase in price helps you guys deliver on more improvements then I'm fine with it. Luckily I can see that you guys are definitely up to some pretty great updates. Looking forward to see what the next 3 months brings.
