Can you get rid of the avatar box following when I scroll through someone’s posts under their user profile? It jumps down as I scroll and takes up the majority of the screen. When I try to scroll back up it takes up even more barely allowing me to see the content as I scroll back up.

It is especially worse for older phones that don’t have the screen height of new phones.
The avatars honestly take up too much screen real estate for such a gimmick that the vast majority of people probably couldn’t care about.

u/BurritoJusticeLeague please look into this. My modern PC (i7, 16GB RAM) struggles to load the comments section of any post on desktop web. GIFs/videos are especially bad. Is the video player blocking the event loop? Regardless, now collapsing a comment can leave the cursor hovering over an avatar which bogs down the page again, because user info is lazy-loaded. I can't imagine the struggle for users with poor hardware and limited broadband access. I just want to fap efficiently.

This! I have a 4 inch display on my phone and the avatars+username take up the whole screen when browsing a user profile. We need our screen space back, please.

Another user asking for this. The avatars take up too much space on my phone’s screen and make it very hard to scroll through a user’s profile
