Maybe it was because I came from a world of Fark/Slashdot/Newgrounds; but “website that is a list of things users submitted to it that may or may not interest me” was a pretty familiar format to me. Old Reddit was still my go-to until June 12th.
“Feed me full content as I scroll” is too annoying. It makes me watch and see things I have no interest in. It’s junk, it’s clutter. Sell me with a headline and a thumbnail sure, but let me decide from there, thanks.
To be fair, neither Reddit was intuitive when I first started using it.

Reddit having a glut of third party apps for viewing and navigating at your preference really helped with outreach.
Now those options are gone.
