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.

It's actually wild how little content they fit onto full desktop screen. Two comments, really? And if you're not logged in, it opens only 2 or 3 comments, and then you have to click 'see rest of thread' or whatever to read more.
I'm sorry but this design is so bad that it has to be malicious. Are we meant to get an ad every two comments or something? They're out of their minds.
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
