I agree. In general the entire website feels very lackluster, the redesign is heinously slow and the problem has to be in the frontend since old.reddit is not nearly as laggy. Having to watch a pulsating loading icon while it's fetching a few KiB of plain text comments is frankly shameful, especially for a website that's mostly about comments in the first place (I know there weren't comments on Reddit at the very start, but I can't imagine that it would've reached that level of popularity without them). I think it's a case of poorly aligned incentives, they clearly only want to funnel everybody to the mobile app. The website being an unusable lagfest might be a feature, or at the very least there's probably not a lot of effort put into improving it.
