No, people still have their opinions. And it's not surprising that the general opinion towards Reddit is not positive here since many feel not valued by the Reddit leadership.
Think of it like a free ride on a train sponsored by Reddit that records every move and conversation of passengers (users) and offering paid drinks (rewards). There are unpaid conductors and ticket inspectors (mods) who are stripped of many tools for their job. And passengers will no longer be able to choose between preferred seats or book a handicap accessible option (3rd party apps). Why should everyone continue as before when conditions are dictated unilaterally? Without us, the trains would be empty and no one would buy any drinks or look at the billboards. If you are happy with your uncomfortable assigned seat (official app) and the conductors are willing to compensate for the lack of tools with extra work, enjoy the ride on. However, I do not presume to be able to decide for the latter.
Maybe a little bit too easy for your 12 yo, but still worth a try:
Stuffed Fables is a coop adventure game for kids where you have to make decisions together and talk about your feelings
Zombie Teenz Evolution is an easy and fast legacy coop game where more rules and mechanics are slowly added over time
