How is this so much better than this year's? It has just as many flags, even more obnoxious ads, and it was not as filled to the brim with different communities

It's not about how it looks. Back then it was novel, it took time for people to form communities, write bots, figure out what to do, etc.

This time it was immideately botted to shit, a lot of place-exclusive communities already existed. Basically it has been optimized to the limit right from the start.

It's like a good game you liked becoming a conveyor. The final result may look nicer, but at the same time more "sterile" in a way.
