yeah i mean i know my workarounds like old.reddit and certain third party apps that still work, but most users aren’t doing that. Everytime i accidentally end up on the default reddit experience i am amazed by how messy, ad-riddled, and annoying it is to use. If that was the only way i knew how to use the site, I would simply open the site less.
