Related to people dropping the site, I don’t understand how anyone can use the new reddit interface, it sucks so much ass it’s amazing. Whose genius idea was it to make default sort include posts from months or even years ago?

I dunno dude, that site has been actively trying to harm itself for a decade. They have backed into success and they keep trying to figure out ways to tank the money printer and nothing works. Every shitty UI update is almost carefully crafted to kill its userbase, people are just slop goblins I guess.
