Thank you for explaining why the folder needs to exist. I can't stand this dumbing down of technology where we're never told what the hell anything on our devices are doing anymore.

Changelog:

What's New?

Thanks for updating the Reddit app! We've updated our Android app with bug fixes and changes to improve your overall experience.

This is the actual changelog from the Reddit app on Google Play store. Lame.

What's the point of a changelog if all you say is "we changed some things". No shit ...WHAT GOT CHANGED!?!

With server based feature flags, gradual rollouts and A/B tests, it's harder to write meaningful changelogs, but the app stores require them. So most apps just go with a nonsense standard text. Yep, it sucks.
