Do you really? Because all I've seen in these threads, going back more than a decade, is user feedback that is either completely ignored, or on the occasion that feedback is acknowledged, never followed up on.

What’s the point of collecting this information if you don’t take action on it?

So just FYI: a few weeks ago my mobile web browsing experience was switched to the “improved” reddit and it completely fucked me over on both browsing as a user *and* more importantly on modding. I literally had no in-line mod tools for browsing my own subreddit and was forced to use old reddit desktop mode exclusively (which, is still great and miles better than shreddit but I would have preferred the old reddit mobile web for most of what I was doing).

so how would you say things are going? i know i personally have my own views on how reddit is being run, and the fact that your comment, just like the top OP and 16 of the last 18 reddit announcements is scored deeply negative gives me reason to suspect the userbase at large holds the same views for you and your coworkers actions. i genuinely can't remember the last time reddit made a change and i thought "that's a good idea".
do you agree with the statement that the userbase as a whole HATES the way reddit is being run or would you disagree with that statement?

Did you conduct that same research when y'all decided to break third-party apps?

I was forced into the new version even though I had opted out in setting and have yet to be given any way to provide feedback. Seeing as reddit refuses to give me a way to provide my feed back I'll say it here... The new UI is garbage. It look horrible. It's unpleasant to use. I only check in now to see if I no longer have the horrible new UI. I now spend a lot more time on other websites because of how much I dislike the new UI. Once I find out this UI is permanent, I will block any emails I get from reddit and just stop coming here. Sites like reddit should be fun, but once they 'improve' all the fun out of them, they are not needed anymore.

How do I switch back to the old logged-in experience? I don't like the changes

continue to pay attention to posts and comments across Reddit.
LOL. Yet the mobile app is still one of the worst apps I've ever used. You may "pay attention to" posts and comments, but you completely ignore their content.

How do I revert to how it used to be on Android? Apparently I have been opted into it, against my will.
The new UI is so horrible I immediately searched for any way to revert, and that option appears this has been denied to me. I can't use dark mode anymore, I can can only see a couple of threads and posts at a time, I have to tap one at a time to see each and every reply below top level replies. Its no longer usable.
I will no longer be using Reddit on mobile anymore with this new UI, and I'm certainly not downloading the app. If this is the future then I'm done with Reddit.
There's no way to give feedback on it, so I'm giving my feedback here.

Please tell me how to opt out of it.
I use Reddit on a Firefox browser and recently I've had the UI change to this new abomination.
The experience is atrocious, I have a better experience using old.Reddit and it doesn't even have a mobile version!
Every single aspect has been made worse. Performance degradation, can't preview media, I'm forced to click on a post to check the image/video, I can't set it so that when I click on a link a new window opens, I can't post comments on a post except as replies or going to desktop mode, expanding/collapsing comment trees sucks, the comment trees themselves suck. The notification bell is always highlighted for when my comments have more than 5 votes and I can't clear it unless I go to the desktop version.
Get me out of this mess, please.

I need you to know how atrociously ugly and hard to use the newest UI update is. Your team should feel shame that you actually thought this looked good.

here is my feedback, you just forced the single worst UI change I have ever seen on me that is entirely incompatible with accessibility tools I use with no opt out and it has stopped me using this platform on my phone completely, if your goal was to lose more users than you already did, well done.

that's a bold faced lie. Take a look at the first two pages of r/help: it's almost every post is a complaint about this. *That's* your feedback. Go answer some of those posts if you really care about what users think

please send me the survey so that I can tell you how awful the new mobile site is. Thanks. :)
