I think it would be amusing if Reddit did implode over this. It'd be entirely self-inflicted... The site is only usable with third party apps.

@Gargron I've seen several people defend this with "old.reddit.com is still good!"

... Yes, and I'm sure it's days are numbered as well, I'll be leaving when they shut that off, Reddit has been making everything worse for a while now.

@unlofl @Gargron I honestly have no idea how anyone uses the regular UI. It’s slow AF and the constant prompts to download the app are the worst
@nathaniel @Gargron right? And old Reddit wasn't perfect from a ux perspective, but had that elegant "web 1.0" simplicity that made it very efficient to use with multiple tabs. Also, the RES "Reddit enhancement suite" was a browser add on that clearly showed what features the community valued, and they just didn't borrow from it.
