    after you sign up to reddit, it will ask you to pick a few things you like from a tag cloud. it will then try and show you more of that.

    I hated that. I used to burn reddit accounts after about 2 months snd every time that part sucked because the only options were like “fashion,” “basketball,” “Game of Thrones,” and other big stuff. If it let me search for the specific subs I knew I wanted, it would be been fine. But no, it had me select random interests. Algotithm-generated content suggestions are the death of the true internet.

        You could skip it but everytime you loaded the app or tried to switch to the home page, it would give the same prompt.
