The moment they kill/break old.reddit.com is the moment I quit reddit for good Unless they magically release a not horrible new UI, which I'm not holding my br

  Likewise. It's probably the worst web UI I currently know of. Whatever team designed and implemented it should really feel bad about themselves and their work, it's unnecessarily bad, as if they were trying to make a shitty UI. I will happily stop using reddit if they kill old.reddit.com

    I agree. If I ever actually meet the designers or team responsible for it I would seriously question their abilities. This includes if I saw it on someone's resume or in their portfolio. Even with the current state of web UI, the new reddit UI is astoundingly bad.

    It's not just bad it's _unusable_ on any older mobile device. Takes 10 seconds to load a page, greets you with a "Reddit is more fun in the app" popup that takes up half the page, then will display the top 3 comments but if you scroll down it will load a random different post that they think you'll like instead of showing you more comments.

      They also straight up won’t let you see certain subreddits on the mobile web page, a message pops up telling you to download the app because the subreddit content is “unreviewed” or “mature”. Not talking about NSFW stuff, either. Just regular subreddits.

  They're A/B testing a slightly less bad interface on both mobile and desktop AFAICT, and they also added an algorithmic home page even for people with no account.
