Please don't make us install that app to view videos on Reddit, we deserve the best.
One can only hope.
Wasn't Reddit in severe money troubles, to the point where they were struggling to find good engineers?

I mean, a sizable enough number of us continue to use old.reddit.com that it seems like they realize they can't force us onto the new design and are relegated to maintaining the old one for essentially forever... which to me says something incredible about just how badly their design failed.
> forever I suspect a Reddit PM is watching a usage of old.reddit.com metric and waiting for it to hit a certain threshold before canning it. Perhaps the migration has taken longer than they planned but I have no doubt in time old.reddit.com will be retired.
In a similar vein, there is Adobe Lightroom Classic. There are still people who aren't giving in to Adobe's predatory subscription model, but at some point the "Classic" will be deprecated in favor of "Cloud"
Well v.reddit isn't really working for them e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasfortheadmins/comments/fqbcat/i... or https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/8oa1ag/why_ar... ... what I wonder if whether that's a lack of engineering effort by reddit or more missing peering agreements or both?
You know, v.reddit has never worked for me but I chalked it up to noscript/firefox/old-reddit idiosyncrasies. Crazy that its actually a global issue and has been for over a year. I'd really like to know the behind-the-scenes on this one.
Reddit has always been shit since the redesign: broken scroll, broken video hosting, dark patterns up the wazoo. I wonder if/how soon we'll see a degradation to similar poor usability in dubsmash, or if the people working there can manage to hang on to their product as it is...
The amount of dark patterns Reddit has introduced in their web app is ridiculous. At first, they would prompt you to install the web app every other page load, and now they don't even let you expand comment threads. Why spend so much time and resources on rebuilding your web app if you're gonna cripple the experience so much? The funny thing is it makes conversion rates on the web app even worse, so they have even mo…

The general public are reddits audience now not "early internet adopters". I know from running a geographically based small niche subreddit that users and post volume have gone up dramatically in the past 1-2 years. The people who hate new reddit are a tiny minority I'm afraid to say, the majority of users on the site probably never even saw the old reddit design.
