So after Google literally paid Reddit for its content and then ranked them incredibly well in Google Search and its search features, Reddit during its earnings call blamed Google's search algorithm for not hitting its expected user growth.
Huffman: “Is it our shitty policies towards users, AI developers, and moderators that caused our growth to show down? No it must be Google! Even though they are ranking us higher than we deserve in their search results!”
First off all, what an idiot. Second, you made the deal with them, ya fucking idiot!
Third, I’ve noticed when I go to reduce from a search engine result, the UI is horrible (because I’m not logged in). Like, significantly worse than it used to be several years ago when I’ve wasn’t logged in.

My browser extension that forces old Reddit is essential for this reason. The new UI is a cluttered mess
I refuse to use the new site, its crap. And on old. from mobile, it always opens images and videos in a new tab with the new interface, its worthless!
if I have to use a reddit page from work, I always change it to old.
when that old. stops working, I will never visit that site again
On iOS, “Sink It” makes running into a Reddit page palatable again.
