1. doesnt work without javascript 2. lots of space wasted 3. pulling others content vs linking to other websites... reddit is about the comments, not about consuming content on the same page.

1. going to /r/videos causes firefox to freeze for 10-20 seconds, probably from all the embeds loading at once

2. stickies, in their entirety are always shown. They should be collapsed to just titles to be less obstructive.

3. I get where you're going with the narrow container (enhances readability?) but I never found reddit's wide container to be an issue.

4. voting stuff on the right breaks my workflow[1]

5. 9reddit: seriously? I thought redditors hated 9gag.

Seems like you only embedded a "mobile friendly" layout really awkwardly in a desktop container.

You turned Reddit into a Facebook feed (or LinkedIn feed). I don't think that's an improvement.

I'm not seeing any posts. Did you hit a throttle?

If you could somehow make it more light-weight and useable. It might be good for "9gaggers" to browse some original content.

I paid for 4 million pixels. I want to use them.

I'll tell you why I love it - it just feels intuitive. I don't even think about where I want to click, it is almost as if the section appears before me before my brain even realizes it. All the fluff / stuff I don't click on or use regularly is hidden, and easily acceptable. A little narrow on my super widescreen desktop monitor but other than that 9/10
