I found this rather disturbing:
> "Recently we built an A/B testing system, which allows us to test changes to individual features scientifically, and we are excited to put it through its paces. "
Does this mean that Reddit made it all the way to 2016 without an A/B testing tool?!
- Strom 11y agoAutomated A/B testing isn't super important. Especially for sites like reddit which have been basically the same since launch. You can still get feedback from users, and I would argue this is more important than automatically detecting which button has a 2% higher CTR.
- Houshalter 11y agoI was really upset when they massively increased the font size from normal. It looks terrible and everything takes up so much more space. I think it was probably done from manual A/B tests showing the larger font had some impact on how long people stay on the site or something, which doesn't necessarily mean anything.
