The new reddit is an embarrassment.

Old reddit load time: ~0.5 seconds / ~1-2mb transferred

New reddit load time: ~15 seconds / ~14mb transferred

After those 15 seconds new reddit threw a popup in my way, asking me about my interests. Once I dismiss it I'm in some weird information-scarce hellscape where I need to scroll to even get past the first submission.

It's inexcusably bad. It's throw it out the window and try again bad.

Any somewhat experienced developer would be embarrassed if that was their weekend project. Reddit had how many people work on that for how long?
