Arlios demonstrates how Reddit's modern web interface and mobile app inefficiently load uncompressed images and videos, wasting user data.

Reason NaN why Reddit's modernized UI is terrible and has been terrible since 2016.

I think it's pretty funny that reddit is claiming that appollo is poorly programmed and unoptimised when their app isn't even functioning properly and they can't even be bothered to compress images and videos to dave data usage, make a functional videoplayer, load comments in under 30seconds etc. [Here's a great video showing just how bad the official reddit app handles videos and images ]
