Maybe it's just because I had taken classes on web design in the late 90's, early 2000's, but I hate the current Reddit design because they absolutely ignore all of the basic design rules. The most egregious is wasted space.
Like, I get it; modern shit is more commonly viewed on a phone, being held vertically. That doesn't prevent you from having a widescreen format for regular fucking screens or phones held horizontally. I can not stand having all the content squeezed into the center, leaving big open spaces with absolutely nothing in them on the margins of the page.
We went from fixed-length elements that don't scale with the browser, to the golden era, and then back to fixed-length elements that don't scale with the browser.
Yea, I used old.reddit.com even on my phone and it was fine. Their new design was fucking awful the last time I saw it. On top of that it was slow as shit. You spend more time looking at that fucking stupid spinning logo than you do seeing content.
Naah I like the wide spaces on the left and right. It looks too cluttered otherwise with unnecessary information
