I got the new reddit UI - I think it's horrible. How can I get back to the "middle UI"?
if Reddit cannot find anything for the website designers to do maybe they should just fire them rather than have them invent new ways to circumvent the geneva convention article 33.
Another post about awful redesign, and wondering how to prevent this spreading to my app?

Silly geese - the redesign isn’t for the users, it’s for the investors, for the upcoming IPO. It’s like staging a house for sale. The point isn’t to make the house livable, it’s to make it desirable to buyers.
Serious question - How does the redesign make it desirable to potential investors?
It doesn't.
But it means they can pretend like the platform is still innovating and improving.
Investors want number go up, consistent development and a stable usercount is the same as flatlined and dead to these people.
Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.
