View submission: Apparently, Reddit is getting rid of personalized subreddits

It's pretty frustrating to see that Medo's work is all for nothing.

Spez says "oh it's not for nothing, it got us here" is such an out of touch thing to say. If all of the work will be removed eventually, it was for nothing. His four excuses for why they are replacing CSS is baffling.

There's so many subreddits that require special CSS for how they function but with this it's going to change things drastically in a way I can't see positively.

We were very disheartened to see the news.

I can only imagine how /r/pokemon will handle it, they have a flair in for every single pokemon and then some. As I recall, around SM's release, they actually had like no space left due to it (though they finagled some and got some wiggle room I imagine).

God its going to be chaos when the change happens.

This may be the "Fuck the man!" part of me, the very same that shitposted a meme of you guys as God Hand members. But why don't the Mods protest by changing banners and shit to "We want our CSS". Nothing inflammatory just that message. If enough places do it then users will ask, learn and most likely agree with the Mods on this. I'm an active user almost 24/7 on reddit in both big and small. I and similar users should hardly be hearing this 3 days later on a small subreddit like this. Collective bargain this shit with the users not just the Mods. Hell most mobile users I doubt would want this change too. Just get a big subreddit to do it and the rest will follow. Worse case scenario they ban Mods thus pissing of their vast volunteer work force and even vaster user base even more. Sounds like a win win either way.

Well I mean it'll all be for nothing one day. Don't let it set in though.
