    The other day I typed out a huge response to an argument I was having only for me to be redirected upon clicking submit to the page that says something like, “logging you in,” which redirected me to the front page where I was logged out. When I’d click on the login button I would then be looped through the same “logging you in page,” until I just gave up and decided the conversation wasn’t worth it.

I totally agree that this is annoying but I can't help read this situation and think that I would look back at it like "hm I'm kinda glad it did that", hahaha

Oh definitely as it was a heated argument, but still when the goal of your platform is to keep people engaged (keep them arguing) I can’t see this as anything but bad for Reddit itself.

Absolutely agree I doubt it was on purpose. I bet there's a cheeky browser plugin in that "feature" somewhere that helps you disconnect from an argument by literally frustrating you until you stop trying haha
