Reddit by far. I find the old version unappealing but the new is just a dumpster fire. I'm basically dreading any missclick because I'll be stuck for a few seconds. Not to mention the worst video player on the internet.

This website's performance is shameful.I would spend easily twice as much time on Reddit as I do right now if it was snappy

Teddit.net[0] solves a lot of these problems and paired with Redirector[1], it's a transparent switch out.

I was rushing to the thread to post this. The new site, even after all this time, is dramatically slower to load content than old.reddit. Does anyone at reddit actually use reddit?

Another issue is pretending comment threads are modal?? If I click to read comments, it presents a sheet of comments that if you accidentally click outside them, they just disappear.

And they broke the back button, so when you go back to read those comments you accidentally dismissed, you don't land at your previous scroll position.

I hate the new version. If they ever kill old.Reddit.com I will be very unhappy.

Man, I have been soo disappointed by the new Reddit interface. Its terrible.

Reddit must just have terrible developers. Like they havent paid them enough and it shows in the product. But its the most popular forum on the internet, so people use it anyways.

That's what you get when you abolish negotiation. Helps the lowest common denominator, but hurts top talent.
