Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description
I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/
I’m sure you’re not alone, but IMO, most of the people on Lemmy are here because they don’t like this, and don’t like things like this.
I was a long time old.reddit.com user, because even the new interface was really terrible. I couldn’t browse comments correctly, after two or three there would be some promoted or related post and I’d have to squint to find the “show more comments” button… It became a cesspool of turds, all cross-linked and bound together in nonsensical ways. 90% of what made Reddit great IMO, was the discussion on every post. The diversity of opinions, additional information, analysis and opinions from every walk of life… It was glorious.
Karma whoring was prevalent but if you dug through what was posted in the comments, you could see just about any point of view on something.
By comparison, this is clickbait rainbow vomit.
I’m not necessarily saying the content of the picture is ideal, I just think there’s something to be said for clean interfaces that aren’t jam packed with text.
Well, this isn’t jam packed with anything.
Unless you count bullshit, because it’s full of that.
