It's called modern frontend, I'm afraid :-)
By the way the next iteration of Reddit web UI, which this time is based on web components with Lit rather than on React, is less garbage — at least in terms of raw performance. Design-wise it may still be horrible; but at least technologically, it feels like a definite improvement. You can check it out if you browse Reddit without logging in.

The performance profile I recorded in dev tools then looked like this: https://i.imgur.com/OSfzPDa.png https://i.imgur.com/OSfzPDa.png That was when I fully appreciated both that raw performance is important for me, and how truly horrible it was on the Reddit site.
