Reddit's redesign could kill discussion subreddits
Mobile phones. Again.<p>It&#x27;s always mobile phones that ruin good websites these days.<p>They optimise for swipe, scroll and tap. Look, like, emoji.<p>They don&#x27;t optimise for text. In fact they are increasingly hostile to it. The Tinderfication of online dating has been a depressing race to the bottom.<p>The internet was never going to be as great as we thought it was. No other technology has been. Folks thought the telegraph would end wars and that TVs would have everyone soaking up a deep education. But that&#x27;s not where the money was.<p>But I felt it wouldn&#x27;t be this shitty. At some point we&#x27;re all going to look back on that moment when Jobs held up the first iPhone that could run an app and regret it.
