Wow that's pretty horrible.

It's amazing what you miss due to 10 years of browsing with RIF and RES as mandatory installs

I think Reddit doesn’t realize that what made their UI so appealing was precisely that it felt really functional and bare bones, like Craigslist still does or Google used to. As if it was designed by nerds who just wanted the most functional site. It makes it seem more trustworthy and neutral, less monetized.

This redesign looks painfully corporate.

The fact that crypto is listed on the side makes me wanna bump my head on the wall.

The whole thing in general looks like a mobile app stretched to fit on a monitor. I mean, that's how most websites are in 2023.

Legit thought you were on YouTube.

Looks like they copied youtubes front page.

At first glance I thought it was youtube.

Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?

I absolutely thought this was YouTube.

Wtf.

that looks like youtube. is that how non old.reddit looks like?

Well at least it's better than the previous layout that squished everything into the center and had a ton of dead space on the sides.

It looks like YouTube now. But with text. lol

it’s facebook….

You don’t show full posts because then your team gets to count an ‘active’ user when people click to expand.

Metrics becoming the goal 101 and active user growth is important to get investors to hold the bag for your VCs. Every action right now, that the VC money is getting scarce is aimed at making Reddit look like a profitable target for street investors so your VCs can cash out. Doesn’t matter if what you do isn’t sustainable, because you are the VCs bitch now and they want their payout before you crash and burn.

If it was Fischer-Price, it would be colorful. This is just the sort of bland, generic website UI you see everywhere

they are becoming Digg 3.0

The stupidity of the post is so attractive though. Perfect nerd click bait.

What the ever-living fuck is this bullshit? I'm glad I abandoned Reddit before they started this bullshit.

At least Old Reddit is still available. Right? I think? But for how long?

Honestly, I think the UI looks okay. I dislike the trending boxes which makes my brain think they are ads.

They’re turning it into a magazine - wonder when they’ll add personalisation algo

Remember when they hid NSFW content from r/all and they said they would add a new filter that did contain the content?

Now you can't even select r/all from the drop down menu on their app. You have to open the sidebar, scroll all the way to the bottom, then select it. No way of setting it as the default. Classic algorithm push for advertisers.

Why does this image remind me of Quora?

I read this as "As a 14 year old user" and thought that was an impressive Fisher Price reference for a 14 year old lol

Reddit has been Digging themselves a grave and it's both hilarious and tragic. How fucking stupid of a user generated content farm to shoot themselves in the foot and actively antagonize the people that made the site relevant. Top tier dipshittery.

This is why old.lemmy.world is a godsend.

Looks like Yahoo! in ca. 2002.

Wow that is worse than i expected

Don't insult Windows XP by comparing it to this trash.

old.reddit.com still works for me

I don't know. I think this new Facebook UI looks about the same as it was before. Oh, this is Reddit? lol

As someone who used the site for almost as long (don't know the exact length) how is this just now the thing that bothers you? Reddit has been consistently declining in quality for at least 6 years now if not even longer. What year did they stop showing the upvote and downvote count? That was the first in what became a long line of quality downgrades

this is the (relatively) new sh.reddit.com ui (which is now the default for logged off users; it's actually much lighter then new reddit and doesn't use much js and barely has any tracking), logging in should grant you access to new.reddit.com; and of course good old old.reddit.com is always there (install RES; hit Shift+X to expand images)

Another to be glad I stopped using reddit.

first i thought i watching YouTube
