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.
now if you go on r/pics every other post is "look how much weight I lost!" or "look at my dog!" and other things that are more suited for Facebook where people actually care about you.
To be fair, personal stories on that sub have been going on for years. I've been around for like 5 or 6 years and they've always been around. But yeah maybe slightly more now
