"These users are already familiar with Reddit and we've seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests."

Lmao. The personalization is exactly what I don't want, so fuck off. Also, it's pretty easy to circumvent. I'm sure there's multiple ways, but I just go to old reddit.

Oh I love personalization. When I am the one doing it and not an algorithm doing what it “thinks” is better for me.

They’ll kill old Reddit eventually

And then the site will effectively die

I wouldn’t mind if they did it soon tbf. That way I would find other ways to pass the time at work

I'm surprised they haven't yet. I only go on reddit for specific TV show subreddits, but even that is mostly filled with people clearly hate watching the show.
