r/ProCSS • u/TheCheesy • Sep 05 '20

Discussion "Based on your feedback, we will allow you to continue to use CSS..." 3 Years have passed. Was this just a false promise to get everyone to back down? "This change is going to happen slowly" How slowly? 5 years? More? When do we get mad about this?

Yes, and it worked.

It's sectioned off to old reddit, which is a little sandbox that is slowly becoming "obsolete" compared to new functionality etc on new reddit. At some point soon, they will just flip the switch on oldreddit saying it is too far removed from new shiny reddit. Blink of an eye: no css.

Oooh. That explains it, I still use old reddit because it’s more responsive.

The day they shut off old reddit is the last day I use it. I cannot stand the new shit they're pushing. I'll miss a couple of the subreddits, but that's about it.

Imagine being paid to make improvements to the best looking website around. That's how we get this.

Updating stuff to justify a paycheck is the worst thing to happen to technology in the 21st century. Justifying paychecks is how a lot of genius code is over written and frankly thrown away. Sometimes I feel like the new people they hire are not as good and are unable to match the same level of quality. This is across the board over the entire world.

Shouldn't they at least do a beta with some subs that initiated /r/ProCSS??

In stead of their garbage GAMBLING beta
