If you have an account, you can just flip a switch in the settings that disables the new UI.

No, its true. I'm talking about the setting for your account, not the cookie one.

I just signed in, I'm in the new UI, there is nothing in my settings to turn it off.

In new reddit, there's an "Opt out of the redesign" option at the bottom of the "Account" section in new reddit. Turn that on.

There's also "Use new Reddit as my default experience" if your looking at the setting in old reddit, and you want to turn that off.

It's not there. Maybe that settings isn't on the Mobile UI (which goes back to my point about frustration and apathy being measured as "engagement")

I've set all of these, and none of them are sticky enough to work all the time.

Reddit user for 10+ years here, coder and designer for 20+. I know the site pretty well. If I can't figure it out, it's pretty fucked.
