Why do so many old reddit leave user after the redesign

I switched back to old.reddit.com the second I saw the redesign. It’s not just the ads—it’s the whole vibe.

The new layout feels like it’s trying too hard to be social media, but Reddit was never about that. It was about forums and discussions.

If you miss the old style, try tools like "Shreddit" to declutter the new design or just stick to old.reddit.com.
