We’ve started to allow a small number of redditors to access the improved logged-in desktop and mobile web experience. This updated web experience loads significantly faster and will be similar to the recently updated logged-out web experience.
If this refers to the interface that's been running on https://sh.reddit.com/[1] for a while now; please keep it as far away from me as possible. So much wasted space...

I swear, in a few years, these shitty "everything is a detached free-floating squircle or straight up bubble in a sea of wasted screen space" UI designs are going to go down alongside Corporate Memphis as the generic, ugly garbage it is. Right alongside the trite argument that it appears more "human", which I keep seeing all the time, and makes about as much sense as suggesting a rectangular door on your house makes it uninviting.
Absolutely everything is copy-pasting this shit into their apps, and it's all so soulless and bland. There's not a shred of creativity or identity to it, and it's painfully obvious it has nothing to do with creating something that defines your thing, or making something that best fits the needs of the users, but solely because market research says this has the most potential to drive traffic from new, young users.
I'm waiting impatiently for the day people are finally sick of it and maybe we can have some damn right angles back.

They copied Xitters layout? That's nearly as dumb as buying Xitter.

Wow. I haven't checked out reddit using anything other than old.reddit for a while. That url... I sure love being able to see 5 whole posts at once in "classic" mode. I tried https://shit.reddit.com[1] as I figured it would show the same, but it didn't.

The issue for me is that the text lines are too wide and harder to read as a result.
