Same, but users think it's ugly and doesn't look "right" or "modern" :/

Lesson learnt: don't listen to all users, have confidence in some of your decisions...
Haha who do you think makes the final call? Executives (i.e. users) or the IT Department?
Which users?
The ones that usually flock to platforms. Course then you have classic reddit and 4chan which had pretty simple designs.
I changed back to old Reddit recently, and hell yeah the site is a lot more usable. The new version often had severe lag when loading comments, but I don’t have this anymore.
Its an unecessary single page abomination. Reddit will always be popular it doesnt need a new design. The best part was that different communities could style their subs.

I also remember when you could register without an email.
