> Why do people like that clunky interface?

For me, more posts fit on the screen in old reddit. In this case, it's 10 posts in old reddit vs 6 in new, (desktop monitor).

No infinite jank-loading and nudging more content I never requested into view as I scroll. Similarly I don't want to find a new book stuck to the back cover of the book I just finished reading.

In old reddit I can open comments in new tab, scroll to last comment, then close tab. I don't always do that, but I like the option.

In new reddit, the separator is a single line "More posts from the GooglePixel community"... Not even a horizontal line. I sometimes miss the end of one thread, and don't realise I'm reading comments in the next. Each to their own. I'd stop using old if new was better.
