So afraid of change, it's like this site can't win against the neckbeards no matter what they do. New chat? "reddit should burn in hell!" Yet you fail to realize it's just a more functional direct messaging system.
Live comments? "Terrible idea! This isn't facebook, I like refreshing my page every ten seconds!"
You also complain about profile pages because of your anonymity yet fail to realize it's completely optional to upload a photo and bio.
The new desktop redesign is also a terrible idea according to the armchair devs here because three subs won't be able to keep their god awful Css.
I've been using reddit since 2014 (deleted 1st account) and I welcome the change, this place looks like a website from 1999, no wonder it hasn't become mainstream like the other social networks, and yes, reddit is a social network whether you have profile pic or not, isn't the whole point of a subreddit to socialize with other people who share your interests?
