Hey Reddit Product Management team, you should read this: https://cwodtke.medium.com/users-dont-hate-change-they-hate-you-461772fbcac7

What’s not being said is Users don’t hate change. Users hate change that doesn't make their life better…

This doesn't make my life better.

Sincerely,

- mod of /r/ProductManagement

It's not always end users complaining either. A problem I've encountered too often is designers who immediately want to change the design as soon as they complete the previous one. They're restless, concerned with what's trendy, and always looking to change things up. Except by doing so they make everyone else's life miserable since you're always fighting against a moving target that often breaks things. Hopefully you have enough time to fix the things they broke from the last overhaul before they push out a new one. Occasionally there are good ideas, but more often than not it feels like change just for the sake of change. Sometimes the only real solution is to forcibly remove the designers once they finish so they can't keep fiddling with it.

As another Mod, I have programmed AutoMod to automatically comment on every post in my subreddit, notifying users of this new feature, its potential for abuse, and how to disable it.

I think it's pretty clear that the admins don't want users to know about this, because if they did they would have posted in r/Announcements rather than r/ChangeLog. Therefore, I believe it's up to us mods to get the word out and protect the members of our communities.

I really hope you will consider doing this! My sub is pretty small and my reach really limited, so I am hopeful of getting mods of larger subreddits on board.

Most users hate change. Every UI redesign sucks until people get used to it. You should see people reacting when their ERP screen looks different. Just compare feedback after 1 week and 1 month/year

Is this supposed to be your credentials?

Also the article you linked analysed impact of a twitter change by looking for reactions on twitter. It doesn't seem the author considered the very obvious fact that people generally don't post about things they like, they post when they want to complain
