So reddit can crash and burn if you ask me, but I don't understand why they want to redesign. The clunky modern UI is why Imzy never took off, in my opinion... Changing the design will alienate their existing users, isn't that literally what happened to Digg and what led to reddit gaining traction?!
@gargron If you follow the Beta feedback, that has been a loud point of contention.
People feel
a) The terrible UI/UX keeps new people away, which is a good thing to some
b) the focus is shifting to "socializing" the site, akin to FB, and monetizing browsing behaviors
I doubt the people complaining will stop using the site.
I wonder if the fact that a lot of people use RES or 3rd party mobile apps will impact Reddit like Digg's changes did. Will they even notice?
