It real stupidity to push for that 2.0 UI. I don’t know why reddit insisted on that. It’s honestly really bad, pages feel real heavy and wastes a lot of screen real estate. The only reason people haven’t migrated away is because there isn’t an alternative.

- yalogin 6y agoThis is what I do but recently they changed it so the mobile browser doesn’t honor your settings. So I have to type the old.reddit url every time. I do that and don’t give in to them
