Same. I couldn't imagine using the official app or new site consistently. Everything Reddit has created in the last 5 years or so has, without fail, been a huge downgrade from whatever it replaced.
Older man here (figuratively, I don’t know GP’s age [edit: and I’d be remiss if I don’t mention I’m NB]), and I just felt that way already when Reddit came to my attention and I’ve been glad to be continually validated that I don’t need to spend time on the platform. I’m v old and it’s a big cloud.
I was so confused when I heard about people complaining about profile pics and the like. My Reddit experience is mercifully unchanged from 2012.
