It’s as though they’re purposefully trying to make this experience worse. The inability to make a thumbnail expand without opening the link may just be the last straw for me.

Images opening on the homepage was one of the few things making it usable. Now I have to open the thread to view any image, then go back to the homepage, where it loads in a totally different place.
It’s awful.

I 100% agree. Awful. I love Reddit and am addicted to it. I grew to like the bare-bones "old" interface. But every UX "improvement" rolled out over the years has made my browsing experience worse. I mean, maybe tweaks need to be made to improve ad revenue, etc., which I totally get. But the collective decision-making/implementation/rollout just ends up being bad. Annoyingly bad.
The only saving grace for these mistakes is that other platforms have made even WORSE mistakes (see: X/Twitter), thus leaving Reddit to be the only not-horrendous game remaining.
