I don't use Reddit often, but wow the "new" Reddit design is incredibly jarring and difficult to navigate. Are the majority of users really liking this experience?

All the new users get that interface by default, and when they first launched it you had to specifically opt out, which not everyone knows how to do.

I don't think they have any experiments where they give a new user the old interface to do a proper A/B test, so I don't think you can conclusively say that people like the new interface better than the old, or vice versa.

The new design serves the needs of the company over the needs of the users.
