* There is now a post composer unit at the top of the feed * This change rolled out about a couple months ago, so you may have noticed it already. By making this change, we observed a 0.5% increase in users that submitted a post and a 0.8% increase in posts per user. The biggest thing however was that we observed a 15% increase in users entering the posting flow, so we’ll continue to work on improving that experience to help those users finish their posts.
Maybe they mistook the big text field for a search bar, accidentally entered the posting flow, and then stopped when they realized their error. That would explain why there were almost no difference in the number of posts.

I do this constantly. I've been seeing it for... what... weeks now? Months? Obviously if you *look at it*, it's clearly not a search bar. But it *really* looks like one out of the corner of your eye.
I've had a hard time training my brain to remember that's not what it is.

This is what I did the first few times. So those numbers are meaningless – 0.5-0.8% increase is nothing. And that 15% is basically frustration

I spend a lot of time on reddit and I did this a few times too (mistake post composer for search bar)
