    Can I just say something super weird? I was recently looking for a solution to an issue I had and I needed to look at an image that I could see clearly so I had to zoom in, but because if I’m in the Reddit website, zooming in actually zooms into the Reddit UI, I did what I used to always do and opened the image in a new tab. No longer does that open the image only. It now opens the image AND some Reddit UI around it so guess what happened when I tried to zoom in? That’s right, I zoomed into the UI so I still couldn’t see the image!!! What the hell, Reddit, it’s almost as if you don’t want people to use your website anymore??

      It’s so you cannot share the image by itself. A static page with .jpg and nothing else won’t have all that sweet tracking and ads that everyone should enjoy.

      Duh, the IPO is a cash grab for the job level investor to get out. Within a year of it you’ll see Spez and all the leaders bail. Then they’ll either get bought out of me leaders will destroy what’s left .

      It’s going the way of Digg very soon.
