Now that the change is in place, there is no more login on old. reddit. com
Reddit is getting worse
I’ve mentioned this two days ago. I didn’t test it because I don’t have an account there any more, but I’m predicting that they’ll slowly remove functionality from old.reddit by redirecting it to the new one.
And, really, in another context getting rid of the old interface would be sensible. Because you expect the newer one to be improved. You got to be dumb as a snoo to do it like Reddit did, where the newer interface isn’t just markedly different from the old one, but crappy.
(inb4 yes, the admin said “nooo we aren’t removing old reddit lol”. And my cat said that she wouldn’t scratch my furnitures.)
haven’t all UI changes in most product made things worse lately? The “2010s generation” of software solutions has been growing up on investment rather than profit for a long time and we’ve experienced a weird decade in which getting users was more important than getting money from them. Now we’re seeing the other side in which squeezing profit form each user is more important than retention. All solutions are getting crappier because they not meant evolved for their intended purpose anymore.
