I am surprised they let us have a choice. I didn't like the new design from I think 2-3 yrs ago but I might change it to the new one

I'm not sure I can think of a single instance where a website redesign has left it looking better than it did before

I agree. Every time a site gets a new look, it seems like everything takes up more space and the site is harder to use. Or if it looks OK, there are major deficiencies in how it works. Disney+ looks fine, but it can't seem to keep track of watch history, and if you are on a PC, you can't use tabs reliably for some reason. Every large website should have basic features and a unique, functional design. It must be management that looks at the shitty redesign trend and feels like their site needs to keep up. Because no designer worth his or her salt looks at some of this crap and says "this is great!".

The old version. The old version is better for me to use when I am having a quick browse on down time at work, since it mostly just looks like text on the screen.

I've been using the new design since it launched. It's perfectly fine and I still don't understand why everyone seems to hate it

In a previous life as a digital marketer for creative design agencies, I sat in too many meetings where the goal of a website redesign was fluffy things like "space, brand, intuitive", and not things I care about like "where are the tools and how many clicks does it take to use them".

Web design for the past 10 years has been moving more towards this weird idea that you should be able to do and see less things because somehow human beings are too stupid to process more than 3 buttons on a page without 6 inches of space in between each bit of content.

I think new design has some little extra stuff like profile pics, people can add text to their profile, etc.

new design is complete dog shit and Im not the type that hates on new things for the sake of being different.

the day they force me to use new format is the day I stop using the site.

Who cares about profiles, though

Could someone clarify for me why the new reddit is so repulsive?

I showed this to a friend of mine and he said one of the big issues for him isn't displayed, which is the poor usage of the screen's real estate, which is a fair point, but old reddit isn't great at it either

I know most websites aren't designed with ultrawide in mind, but this is how the newer reddit design looks (without some extension fix).
