The reddit redesign broke my addiction. Their redesign is so disgusting and incompetent, it reminds me of countries that require explicit medical gore to be printed on cigarette cartons. Every time I have the misfortune of finding myself on reddit, it's as though I'm looking at a picture of a diseased organ from a dissected cadaver.

you can still use old.reddit.com to access the site and set that as your default if you're logged in, my experience hasn't changed much since the redesign

To be honest I'm thankful they broke my addiction and I'm not looking to pick the habit back up.

And the URLs haven't changed; I run an extension to automatically redirect me to old.reddit.com

It still has the information you crave. Come back, we have candy.

Reddit /is/ the candy - a bunch of empty information calories that makes you feel good until you realize what you've done. 99% of it is forgettable the moment you move on to your next post.
