One has to be extremely naïve not to know what "ASMR creators" are actually selling. I don't think it's all that weird that they are being banned from PP for using it to sell indecent content.
>I've never been like this. I've actually really liked virtually all of the widely panned UI redesigns over the years: iOS 7, every version of Windows, every evolution of Facebook.
Same. And I still hate the new Reddit. Not because of the new design but because of how slow it is and because they have shifted CPU usage from their servers to my computer.
I've been using reddit for almost a decade. I've found many people on reddit saying that if it wasn't for the redesign (and the mobile apps) they would not be using reddit. It surprises me to see that some people like it; it made me realise this will mark a very, very big demographic shift in the website. Many old users will leave, and many new users will come. Whether that's for good or bad remains to be seen. I think the original spirit of Reddit may end up disappearing, but I don't think that's something that is worth saving, as redditors and their culture are crap.
You compare it to having added thumbnails and whitespace, but this is a complete site rewrite, both in the backend and the frontend. Nothing to do with what you mention.
Personally I will also quit once they force us to use the redesign because I find it to be slow and, let's say, not "productive" enough.
It's a shame it was flagged, but that's the way of this site. Everybody pretends to be a goody two-shoes. For those who can't see it, go to your profiles and switch "showdead" to on.
I don't think that comparison is fair. Europe is an advanced, civilised and homogeneous place; Somalia and the US are nothing like that (for different reasons)
Perhaps your ad blocking extension is not correctly configured? I didn't see any of that, but I've enabled additional lists (they come by default with uBlock Origin, just not enabled; you merely have to mark a few checkboxes.)
I'm sure you're in the absolute minority. Most people want all apps, including the browser, to stay the way they were when they closed them, even after a reboot
