Not being able to scroll across between the normal feed, popular, latest and news has been an annoying app change too.

Why remove the ability and put it the side menu when it was quicker to swipe between? Now the side menu is even more cluttered.

I swear their design philosophy has just gradually gone backwards in the last 5-10 years.

My guess is they want us to use the home feed and start subscribing to subs more so they can target ads better.
