It won't just be this but it'll be things like this, further monetization schemes, and eventually killing old.reddit that are gonna keep chipping away at their faithful userbase.
I'm surprised they haven't killed old reddit after all this other BS yet, tbh.
That's because all the admins are using old.reddit themselves.
They can see the numbers for new shit reddit and old reddit. They haven't gotten rid of it because it probably still has a ton of traffic that can display ads. It's extremely obvious that they fucked up with the new design just because the old one has been around for so long
