Why does Reddit continue to do things that the users hate and don't want?

For me as well.

new.reddit via UI changer "TOO MANY REDIRECTS" Error.

Without it, even typing new.reddit into the browser just puts me to reddit.com[1] instead.

Did they freaking remove New.reddit?

Get ready, everyone. The mods are soon gonna bomb these posts for “complaining too much” just like what happened a few months ago.

This redesign actually hurts my eyes. It's so bad. I'm not a person who hates change for change's sake, but when you change things to make them SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE by filling more than half my screen with BLANK SPACE, I get mad.

At least make the column sizing dynamic! This is genuinely awful.

Literally this morning new.reddit.com[1] was still working and this afternoon they nuked it. This new UI is SO ugly and not functional. I really hope they bring it back.

I found if you navigate to old.reddit.com/settings/account it looks like the good new.reddit.com UI for me, and then I can click around from there. hopefully this stays working

the new design sucks reddit, fire the web dev team

edit: nevermind, they already patched this out. it did work for about 15 minutes though. this is a real bummer

I'm running into this issue too. I can't access new or old reddit, only the new-new reddit.

It looks like they stop allowing new.reddit - even if you are a mod. At least that's what I'm seeing on my desktop PC.

It also looks like you can't filter by a keyword and copy/paste the results - which is extremely important in my case.

Please bring bring new.reddit UI!!!

The bots removed my post about the user interface, so I'll copy and paste it here as a comment.

Since the user interface for the standard user is awful, why not give the user the ability to toggle on and off specific features? Give users the ability to toggle off the "recent posts" on the right side of the screen. Or the ability to toggle off the entire left side bar. Or, if a user wants to keep the left sidebar, toggle on and off the the features within it. If they don't want to "Recent" or "Resources" dropdown, let them remove it.

Allowing the user to customize their experience on Reddit would greatly improve their time on the website, and would likely keep some users from leaving the platform entirely

Reddit, please stop forcing me to use your GARBAGE UI, it sucks, whoever designed it sucks, and whoever is forcing it on us sucks.

Kindly, most users.

This is awful. I'll definitely use reddit way less moving forward, if there is no way to get back to the new. UI. might scrap it altogether.

Dear extension developer - thanks for making this, hopefully you will be able to find a workaround.

Dear Reddit developers - why?
