I'm guessing you haven't had the new site rolled out to you yet? Maybe it's just me but on the mobile version of the new site, of the top four posts one to three(!) are ads on every page. Oh, and only two posts are visible by default. I much preferred the unobtrusiveness of their ads previously.

I find myself wishing the new ads were more intrusive! What we have taught them is that we are "okay" with ads as long as they're unintrusive. But what Reddit has understood is that if they can blend in the ads seamlessly that the ads are acceptable. But the ads are actually worse. -- And thank goodness for that. I waste far too much time there and nothing breaks me from the spell like loading the new theme.

i can no longer login with the new page, because they've introduced a client-side password check that fails for my legacy account.

right now, i'm still able to authenticate at old.reddit.com... but once they've deprecated that as well, i'll no longer be able to authenticate unless i change my password in this grace period. not doing that though

I stopped using it when they effectively prevented browsing from phones. I'm to lazy to switch to desktop view. I don't want to install their crap app on my primary device.

I don't understand why wouldn't you change your password? Is there some technical or security related reason?

no, i'm just not interested enough to keep my reddit account active. I'll use that as an excuse to stop going there altogether
