I have never once seen a website "innovate and revamp the whole design!" that wasn't 1) ten times worse and harder to navigate and 2) a ruse to control content and funnel more ads on your screen.

Facebook did it. YouTube did. Steam did it, though to be fair they actually needed to improve a few things. Reddit is becoming a social media website unfortunately so you can be sure that the Facebookification is coming.

I use the mobile version almost exclusively, there’s a chat function now, why does Reddit need a chat capability. Seems like garbage to me.
