Reddit's redesign saga is one of the great UX tragicomedies. The old design was ugly but functional - power users could scan information efficiently. The new design prioritizes engagement metrics over usability, with cards that waste vertical space and a feed that feels algorithm-driven. The API pricing changes that killed third-party apps removed the best Reddit experiences from the ecosystem. The mobile app is a study in dark patterns, from notification spam to award prompts.
