I hate it, it's infinitely worse. Here are a few issues:
- It's much slower/bulkier. I don't want a modern machine just render webpages.
- Infinite scrolling designs are good for addiction, but not actually good for reading. If I have to reload the page, my spot is gone.
- Much less content actually fits on a page, and I suspect this is done to encourage scrolling, similar to facebook's strategy. Increase addiction, tracking, and ad impressions through engagement.
- There seem to be a lot more emojis and post flair.
- There seem to be A lot more promoted posts
There's probably other stuff I haven't noticed. Between the redesign, the enhanced user tracking, their desire to go public, and tencent's investment, it's pretty clear that it's getting to be time to abandon reddit completely.

Press here to return home" error all the time when my connection is mediocre or like if my phone is about to drop wifi for data. For a site comprised of basically just text and images, they figured out very well how to complicate serving the data to the point of unusability.
