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.

Currently, I only use reddit to browse a few specific subreddits without an account. If they kill old.reddit.com and my extension to convert to old.reddit.com stops working, I'll simply stop browsing any subreddits. The new website design feels aggressively unreadable to me. Feels like it's supposed to be a barrage of information that leaves me confused and susceptible to ads that I'll never see because I use an ad blocker.

I feel the same way.

I lurk sometimes, but my lurking ends if/when old. suffix ends.
