At a strategic level, surely the website is bad in order to drive people to the mobile apps. Simple enough.
But I wonder how this result was actually accomplished - are there Reddit developers deliberately adding JS bloat so scrolling is choppy? Are there KPIs that pages must not load in under N seconds or videos must not play successfully more than N% of the time? It's bad enough that it can't be an accident. I'd love to interview one of the devs of the new UI.

It is like login in to Gmail on a new computer. It has some 2fa that begs for my phone number and the other options just don't work half the time.
