Forget the CPU usage, I only use the old UI because it's better/ I find it more usable.

Or maybe I'm just getting old :D

It's both.

The new UI is terrible and barely useable. But Gen-Z is used to barely useable UX. (looking at you, Snapchat)

I wont disagree there, it's not useable. I wonder what possessed them into believing any of this was a good idea.
The new UI increases the similarity between posts and ads, making you more likely to mistakingly click on an ad.
the new UI is so uncomfortable to use, I don't like how bloated websites are becoming, but usually I can cope with it. Reddit's is just bad. It's buggy, it's inconsistent, and its resource-intensive.
