It makes me sad, because there are many individual communities on Reddit that are quite wholesome and useful -- I've found that setting up multireddits and sorting by "top" with a time period of 24 hours is a good way to surface infosec news for example.

I had migrated over when Google killed reader, and moving back, it's overwhelming and distracting to have so many sources marked as unread -- the voting was useful for separating wheat from chaff.
