yeah i mean i know my workarounds like old.reddit and certain third party apps that still work, but most users aren’t doing that. Everytime i accidentally end up on the default reddit experience i am amazed by how messy, ad-riddled, and annoying it is to use. If that was the only way i knew how to use the site, I would simply open the site less.

Or, hear me out, they went public and now they are making their product worse as enshittification takes its toll.

I use old.reddit in desktop mode still, on occasion. Today I clicked on a screenshot of a game cause I wanted more detail. I was directed to the new Reddit interface. I right clicked on the image and chose “open image in new tab” and got the new Reddit interface. I tried CTRL-scroll to zoom in the image, and it made the UI elements larger and in the process shrunk the image. I left the site.
