The Reddit Lane Change Maneuver

The Reddit dev team making that hard right turn away from "doing something creative" to "moving notification to separate page" is the ultimate product management swerve. Classic case of developers ignoring user experience for the sake of... what exactly? Nobody knows! It's like they saw users enjoying the convenient modal notifications and thought, "You know what would make this better? Making people click more things!" The sudden lane change perfectly captures that moment when product decisions leave users gripping their mice in terror wondering who's actually driving this platform.
