> But up close, the changes have turned Reddit from an esoteric maze into a website anyone can use—like a junk drawer that's been gutted, cleaned, and reorganized. > For people who have been on Reddit for years, the obtuseness is part of the appeal. What maze? What obtuseness? Reddit is a plain, usable site (esp. if you turn off the image previews they added a few years back). There's simply nothing wrong with it the way it is. I suspect that this is a submarine article, paid for by Reddit itself. I also suspect that the new interface will be yet another JS-laden, SPA atrocity — but perhaps I'm wrong, and I'll be pleasantly surprised by nice, static, server-rendered HTML instead.
