I once looked at the little notification tray on the new Reddit UI and saw a recommendation for a post. It piqued my interest, so I clicked it. It took me to the subreddit, not the specific post. I tried clicking different parts of the notification, same result every time. I tried scrolling down on the subreddit (in the new UI, ugh) and did not the find the post after thirty posts or so. I tried to copy the title from the notification, so I could paste it into Google, but user text selection was disabled by the CSS. I used “Inspect Element” to get a copy of the text, and put it into Google, which finally took me to the post.
All that engineering work to produce 100B recommendations, and it’s not even been put to good use.
