I can’t help but think this is the end for that site. It started off with a very old school minimalist designed forum vibe and has been devolving into dark patterns and advertisements as of late.

I guess good things can’t stay free forever and the bills need to be paid somehow. Wish they went to a donation model like Wikipedia instead.

I found reddit from the great digg.com exodus.

They didn’t learn.

The fact that old.reddit.com continues to be available suggests that they did.

To this point, I would probably stop using the desktop version of the site if they nixed old.reddit.com.

Same. I only use old mode for both mobile and desktop. It’s super annoying that about once a week they drop me back into their utterly awful mobile web experience. Then have to go back to settings and choose request desktop site yet again.

Most recently they’ve switched image galleries to using their new desktop design, so simply trying to view images often pops up this new and totally incompatible experience. Earlier today the left/right nav icons stopped working so I just gave up on trying to view those images.
