I use Reddit daily, and for the last ~week their UI has added multiple things to click and be taken to my 'Reddit recap', which I think is supposed to be like Spotify's 'your year in review' feature.

Reddit's product managers very much want me to check out my 'Reddit Recap'.

Well I've navigated to my recap about 30 times now in the last week, from multiple links, in app and desktop, and it's still totally broken.

On desktop now, it doesn't show anything except a "retry" button which is incorrectly stuck to the left side of my screen (CSS fail).

I can understand things being broken, but its really bad form to funnel a user to a prominent feature, have that feature be broken, and then have a broken and terrible error state.

I do wonder what kind of engineering team bungles a big feature release like this.
