No, they've changed something recently where sufficiently nested comments with replies now seem to show 'click to see more' thing as well

As per the other reply to you, I'm pretty sure this has always been a thing.

At least in the past it was a 'non-gold' restriction[1] that you could only set your account to load up to 500 comments automatically.

Another change we could be seeing. Reddit allows mods to collapse comment threads as of 03-12-2019.

That's always been the case, it should not be as bad as new Reddit though
