I’m not sure if this is new, but when I clicked on the /r/pics protest post link from the frontpage here, I was redirected to this: https://old.reddit.com/premium

I’m not sure if this is well-known or not that they’re pushing it now, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it, especially on old.reddit.

      I feel like any software change reddit has made is the last decade just made it a worse experience. It succeeded despite their changes, not because of them imo.

        I’ve been thinking about this for awhile. In all my 10+ years on Reddit, I don’t think I ever remember them making a change that actually improved my experience or made me think anything other than “oh, good thing I can’t see this feature on old Reddit/RIF”. Reddit really has stumbled its way into success despite all its best efforts to the contrary.

      Obviously just speculation, the past week demonstrated that Spez is disorganized and probably contributing to a hostile working environment. Does his recent AMA or interviews give an impression of a leader that would be easy to excel and create with?

          “He tells it like it is”

          Our lead-poisoned parents may have bought into that crap. But we know all that is is stubborn arrogance. And solving problems requires open-minded thinking and chasing the problem, not the messenger/customer/employee.

      They do “market research”
