  For the uninitiated, you can do by changing the URL you're visiting from reddit.com to old.reddit.com. If you have an account, you can also set this as a preference.

    The preference automatically changes back, because they hate their users.

      Probably because new reddit is much more ad revenue-friendly. I've managed to make the preference stick somehow.

      > because they hate their users I see stuff like this a lot and it bugs me. Reddit doesn't hate their users, there's simply a financial incentive to convert them over to the new site, either because it's easier to serve ads, or they need to justify to management that millions of dollars of work was worth it. I'd be willing to bet most unpopular UX/redesign decisions can be traced back to some financial incentive.

      They don't hate their users, but they love their customers. Their users are not their customers.

    There are browser extensions to do this automatically as well.

    I only regret that I have but one upvote to give to this answer. Use old.reddit.com

  I've been using this Old Reddit Redirect extension for Chrome that does what it says on the tin. Works great for this. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-reddit-redirect/dneaehbmnbhcippjikoajpoabadpodje https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-reddit-redirec...
