• Can we please not post Platchat spoilers? Just add the spoiler tag when posting power rankings.

  Image previews by default is a new reddit thing. Most people that have been around since before the redesign use https://old.reddit.com with RES (or use classic-style mobile apps like BaconReader) and think new reddit is worse than pre-nerf Brig. No clue what the percentage of new vs old users is at this point, or if new reddit lets you disable previews by default, which it might. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Another change i really dont like (yet). My head crashes as soon i see it. What was wrong with how it was? Cant we just choose the interface.

  I just use BaconReader on my phone. :) Not too fond of Reddit's interface-changes, so I also use the old interface on desktop. Source: over 2 years ago
