I mean, the reddit company did go public, so things like this were inevitable.

Also things like the API fiasco, and also small annoyances like the fact that when you click on an image on reddit, it now goes to a wrapper html page instead of just the actual image (this was one of the reasons reddit was better than most social media...).

Maybe it's just me or something temporary (I use Old Reddit, like all right-thinking folk) but for the past couple of days the image wrapper page seems to have been sent to the glue factory. I'm just getting the image now, unadorned.
