View submission: Making Redditing Simpler
A few of the recent declutterings have made Reddit much more difficult to read, at least on iOS:
1. You removed the sources from the News feed. I'd like to know where I'll be going when I click a story.
2. The subreddit name is gone from the top of posts when scrolling through Popular. Many times the text or picture needs the context of knowing where it was posted to make sense. If I see someone posting about a big achievement or major change to a product but can't tell which game or movie sub it refers too, it confuses me and slows down comprehension.
Also, some types of posts have had their scrolling behavior altered so that I never know if I need to scroll right to get to the next post or up. Recently, a change was made so that if I scroll up the post closes. It's very confusing.

is this for real? it's already hard enough to make people aware of WHERE they're commenting when they comment on something, now they're stripping that context away entirely? are they trying to just cram everyone into one big mash of a site? they're gonna make this place literally unusable for support communities.

This is actually a security issue as well, people could just link to whatever under a misleading headline.
