I'm actually surprised it's still running, but it seems inevitable especially when they aren't milking that sweet sweet af revenue.

With old reddit you can block ads on the side and ads that pretend to be posts have a blueish hue, so it's easy to scroll past without paying attention.

"New" reddit the images/videos are already open so I'm sure eventually they'll look at the decrease in ad impressions and make up an excuse to get rid of it.

Assuming none of that has changed in the couple months since I left.

All moderation tools were not available on new design last time I was there. It is still not on par with old design
