View submission: Making Redditing Simpler
As long as old reddit is still an option, it will be my go-to.

Every once in a while I try new reddit, to see if they made it as good as old reddit, and I always go back.
For the thread view "Classic" is OK, but too big compared to old, showing too few threads. "Compact" is OK in denseness, but doesn't show thumbnails and puts comments in the other side of the screen.
If it was only that I'd be OK... but then you have the comments. Wasted space for upvotes making everything too big. And slowness... Collapsing threads takes a whole second rather than being immediate like in old - it's infuriating.
In general, it just feels like a beta product, before optimizations, before user testing.

Yeah, it's full Linux vs a McDonalds kiosk UI.
