It's literally 10x slower on all devices that I have, shows less content (particularly, long comment threads), and 100 other reasons they I'd sure hope you understood as a UX designer.

It's 2021, I don't want to see a "Loading..." icon like I'm on dial-up in the 90s.

Compare with https://old.reddit.com — open them side by side, refresh, click around.

We can have a serious discussion about what sucks in the "new" UI, but I really hope it's obvious.

Honestly, I have seen no performance issues for new Reddit on any of the devices I own. And I own some really shit devices. I'm broke, so I bought the cheapest laptop on Amazon. My phones are the lowest free Android devices.

Whereas about 80% of other sites on the Internet were unbrowseable until I installed an adblocker.
