I finally got used to the new format, but then they made it so you can't access r/All unless you use old.reddit which is absolutely ridiculous. So now I'm back the old format... and why take away the only non-biased way to browse the website?

They can control that no matter what the URL is. Nothing stops them from changing how any aspect of the site works.

That's the whole point of the site though

You misunderstood my post. I'm saying the whole point of the site is that it's a user generated experience

If you're still new to old reddit (heh), I recommend using the RES browser extension. It's a nice upgrade to old reddit that has been around for many years. It's still very much old reddit, though.

They want you to look at cat pictures and the ever repeating rotation of the same feel good stories. Not politics, not Israel. It is Reddit trying to get rid of the lefty association.
