Wow, that is some bullshit. I wonder what is the real reason for the change.

I wonder how many subreddit will lose their individuality from this.

i just hope the change from desktopstyle to mobilestyle will not be as bad as it was with royal road. (i am still not used to that 'new' website)
also never change a running system, top comment from the link sums up most things quite nicely anyway.

not necessarily a bad thing, building CSS directly into HTML that reddit will display on both mobile & desktops (CSS is 'flaky' in my 'Professional Opinion' as a design language... and as the post states is error prone.)
This will just meant that things 'change' not that we have to have bad looking stuff

Our starting point is to replicate as many of the existing uses that already exist, and to expand beyond as we evolve.
Have any of you guys even read this? They're removing it in favour of a better system. Not removing it just cuz.
I'm not saying I think it's a good idea to change a long-lasting system used by many. But it's not like they're just removing it because they don't want people to have fancy subreddits. They're removing it because the site is getting a whole redesign, which would break everyone's CSS to begin with. So they have the perfect opportunity to create a better system.
