    I will never understand the obsession to build terrible SPAs to replace existing UIs, that are, without exception, worse than the original.

    But I guess Reddit had a good run and all things must come to an end.

      My experience is that it has mostly to do with the team structures within organization. SPAs allow you to create front end only team which can theoretically iterate faster with changes and demos.

      Btw concept of SPA is probably more than a decade old by now, GraphQl has taken over in lots of places along the same lines.

    needed an excuse to compulsively stop visiting, this is perfect

    funny that i wasn't getting anything useful out of it for some time

    new version doesn't even work properly on firefox with ublock, comments almost never show up, video doesn't work...

      Same for me. I reduced my visits after the crackdown on third party clients and I guess now it’s time to say goodbye forever.

      To be fair, I guess Reddit won’t miss me either because I was only lurking the whole time.

        I tended to use it with an account when posting on hobby subreddits and without an account otherwise.

        They are going to lose casual posters as well.
