Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

They don't want you to read, they want you to scroll.
It's like they don't understand what Reddit fundamentally is: a forum. It isn't Instagram or Facebook. But they really want it to be because you can fit a lot of ads in that format.
That’s a very good point. Website design made space for ads. I was just browsing yahoo.com on the Wayback machine and it’s amazing how much content you could fit in a 800x600 screen. Now my 4k feels not enough.
It's clear they want to transform the site into another FB/IG clone, every design decision they've taken in years points at it
