That reward sharing was actually removed though. I believe some of the code implementing it is still around and is part of the issue with the reply depth. There may be other issues as well.
I agree the whole depth limit is extremely annoying and will drive some types of content and users away.
I find following conversations becomes much easier on steemd than here.

Depth is a problem I find annoying because you can't start a serious conversation without using stupid tricks to get around depth limitations.
Just wish we could post via steemd.
sometimes i cant reply my followers, even we are in a discussion. so i was wondering when this will be fixed
