Recent UI tweaks, ahead of Reddit's planned IPO, are making the web design resemble the mobile app more. This is testing users' patience.

Features like the upvote/downvote button location changing and the inability to collapse comments are frustrating for users.

Reddit is removing support for third-party clients and extensions that allowed access to old Reddit versions.

There's suspicion Reddit may axe old Reddit entirely after rolling out this newest redesign before its IPO. Users think this because the old Reddit setting recently disappeared.
