You may have just heard it from me first: I know a guy that knows a guy that says that the next upcoming self-inflicted injury on the Reddit site is an imminent removal of the “old.” prefix that has been used to un-fuck the interface and make it more bearably usable. They’re already bleeding out users, especially active content-creating users, so this will only accelerate evacuations of the carnival tents as the circus fire spreads.
I’d literally never use the site again. Right now I still have an account for some niche stuff without equivalents elsewhere, but I can’t use new reddit. It just isn’t going to happen.
