While I share some disdain for the redesign, I usually forget that it exists because I'm always logged in and never opted-in to the redesigned site.
Let's at least praise reddit for having the sense to make the redesign opt-in.
- sethammons 8y agoMany things start opt-in and later become the only option
- meowface 8y agoDefinitely, and I think that's very likely reddit's goal here. But I also think they have enough sense to not make it mandatory or opt-out anytime soon, since there are so many complaints.
- jjaredsimpson 8y agoSame here. I starting seeing front page posts about how much everyone hated the redesign and I had no idea what anyone was talking about. It's a total non issue to me.
- jjoonathan 8y agoI never opt in to anything and somehow my account got permanently opted in (as in none of the opt out links work and I have to use a browser extension to keep old.reddit). Further, based on replies to my gripes, this seems to be a common state of affairs. Don't praise them just because you're in the control group ;)
- wyldfire 8y agoWow, is this really the case? If so, that is really bad and this is worthy of some of the concern/frustration.
- jjoonathan 8y agoYes, it's really the case. We wouldn't need browser extensions to force old.reddit if the opt-in/opt-out obeyed our wishes.
- mercer 8y agoThat's strange. You don't have any 'old reddit' options in the settings? I wonder how that came about... How young/old is your account?
- jjoonathan 8y agoI do have the setting. It doesn't work (well, it "works" and then reverts). 6 year old account IIRC.
