> new redesign on mobile web is so bad

The funniest part is plenty of 3rd party apps had been doing an amazing job already. All reedit had to do was acquire one of them on the cheap or steal design cues from the ones that were most popular.

Instead they created this monstrosity which till date lags behind many 3rd party apps in features and fluidity.

RES is the only way to use reddit, and they can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Their goal is not to make a good website, their goal is to show you ads.
