As soon as they remove old.reddit.com that's a wrap for Reddit for me. That's the last thing to do before it goes the way of Digg way back when. Related where is Kevin Rose these days?
I've drawn the same line, their new UI is just absolute trash. I can't tell if it's done on purpose or if they're just that bad at creating web interfaces.
It's 100% on purpose. One person can make a much better interface, as various alt clients have shown. Log in to show your age? How dare you browse without giving us data?
It must be on purpose. What really drives this home for me is the aggressive folding of comment threads, sometimes requiring 3-4 clicks/navigations to be able to read all <10 comments on a post.

3-4 times the ad impressions and 3-4 times the profit!
Kevin is doing NFT stuff these days.
That tracks.
What a shame.
I think some of the higher ups must realize that all of the content in the site that isn't TikTok-esque drivel is coming through old.reddit, or they would've cut it off long ago
Is there a good replacement for old reddit that's not so political? I just want to look at memes, discuss niche topics, and shitpost.
Same here. It'll probably be healthy for me when they finally remove it.
