The Reddit redesign is so bad, they themselves recommend using their app!

ChrisFhey@kbin.social 1 year agoSame goes for the Reddit redesign. People have been up in arms about new Reddit ever since it's been introduced.
I'm pretty sure they'd be much less up in arms if the new version didn't suck as much as it does, though. Same probably holds true for the redesigns that were introduced for Youtube and Facebook.

That’s by design. It’s in Reddits bestinterest to drive usage towards their invasive app.

I know that. That’s why people complain about it.

Most people have knee-jerk reactions to site redesigns, and then begrudgingly accept it sometime after.
The reddit redesign is different, in that most power users, mods, and long-time redditors are still using old.reddit 5+ years later.

That's not an entirely valid comparison in that the other platforms that got redesigned don't give the end-user the option to still use the old design. Chances are that if they did, a lot of people would stick to the old design there as well.
