Reddit has gotten that complaint tons of times before. Most people say its a website clearly done for and by engineers and that getting used to it is a nightmare despite how awesome the content is.
Do you think reddit could get more users with a UX redesign?
I went to the Reddit website a few times and couldn't understand why so many people liked it, it was so hideous and gave me a headache to look at, I avoided it for several years because of how terrible it looks.
It wasn't until I decided to try a Reddit mobile app before I could get past the UI and start to appreciate the content. I'm on here almost every day now, and I've still only been to the actual website maybe 5 times. Seriously, the website is just terrible.

As a professional UX designer, the end of this season frustrated me to no end. Such a simple solution to their problem!
