I don't mind the outages so much, but why is the site so slow most of the time? Even the old.reddit.com site is slow. Is there no incentive to optimize the serving infrastructure?

Reddit is focussed on tracking the user to keep them engaged as best as possible. Server-side rendering the page as a whole would render a lot of Reddits tracking useless. Just compare the amount of requests Reddit needs to load a single page to (e.g.) HN. Edit: They don't really care about speed because there is no competition similar to Reddit? So why bother?
