Let premium members opt out of AB testing
It's really a simple thing. Premium members should be allowed to opt out of AB testing of features if they don't want to see changes in how Reddit operates that aren't quite stable or in the core of Reddit features yet. If users opt out of AB testing, they only get the features of the site that are currently released as stable and currently permanent features of the site.
I think this will drive quite a few users to get premium so they don't have to be test subjects and I think the current premium users will appreciate this change since we do get a lot of people asking to opt out of things like the For You feed, for example.

Feeds Incentivize brevity with new algorithm
As a consumer, I’m not a huge fan of the way the posts in the thread are prioritized at the top of the chain. I want to read quality posts that don’t take up a whole page. For efficient reading and to save time on scrolling, there should be a simple algorithm that,
Instead of 100% of the prioritization going towards number of upvotes, give it 50% prioritization and give 50% that gives weight to number of characters in the post. Perhaps 75/25 would be better. It would incentivize brevity.
Perhaps I would spend less time on the app each visit but it might make for a more user-friendly experience that would bring me back more often.

Other Stop suggesting posting in communities you are banned in
I keep getting recommendations to post in communities, that I am banned in. I think this is more of a troll than a feature. At least put a warning in the suggestion or remove it entirely.

Moderator My idea is: allow moderators to sticky any comment
As a moderator, there are occasionally comments that answer the original question perfectly, but don't have as many upvotes due to being later or for other reasons.
I'd like it to be possible to sticky any comment, rather than just ones posted by yourself. (I know it's possible to comment with a link to the post and sticky that, but that's not always the ideal solution.)
