The funny part was where he implied Reddit does now or ever has given a fuck about users. They care about clickthrough and outbound links. It's the only thing they've ever cared about. The only reason they're doing a UI redesign now is that their ancient shitty Craigslist-looking UI is actively off-putting for a generation used to HTML5, and the only reason they've been given any money for a redesign is that they have metrics indicating that their landing-to-leaving time is in decimal seconds.
