In case anyone can't tell, this is a bad thing. This means all subreddits will pretty much be forced to look exactly the same. Spoiler tags will break, no random banner rotation, thumbnails will be gone, user flairs broken, no news bar, no sidebar dropdown, no comment faces, and lots of font style/size fixes. A subreddit's css is crafted through many years of hard work and fine tuning. Even how many posts you see on screen at once has likely been fine-tuned. So yea, I'd advise everyone to tell the admins how fucking stupid this is.

A stupid decision from reddit admins ? I totally did not see that coming. /s

On the plus side, this feature isn't even in alpha yet. On that node, I would *heavily* recommend that mods of any sub fill out the survey in this linked comment[1]. It's been at around 70-80% against the change as more and more responses have been coming in. It might be more effective than *just* telling the admins that this is a fucking stupid idea (I mean, do that too of course).

I for one am happy for the change. I really dislike when subreddits change the collapsing bars. No amount of making a subreddit look pretty is worth functional issues.
