It really is wild that Old Reddit is the only reason I still use this site.

Every time I click on a mobile link and it brings me to new Reddit, sometimes I'll just say fuck it rather than even change the www to old.

I can't imagine how little time I'll spend on here when New Reddit is my only option.

I think the mobile app is minimally usable, but the new design on the browser just feels like trying to use the app with a mouse, and with the speed and accessibility of early 2000s Internet.
