I don't agree at all with the author's approach. I'm a millennial and I came to Reddit around 2019-2020, using it a lot since the pandemic, I prefer the new reddit a thousand times. It's not a question of interpreting the site as questions, it seems like a nonsense to me. It's a matter of making everything more visual, I don't stop to read the title, the community or the author, at a glance I see the vast majority of the post, if I consider it I see the rest of the information, most of the time I ignore the information, because I don't care.
I would like to remind you that Instagram (the example given in the article) is mostly used by millennials.
Same, millennial here and I massively prefer card view over having to click again. Similarly I want a Mastodon interface in which links are shown as link preview cards.
Yes, a link without a preview is unpleasant
Yeah, I'm not sure this is the generational thing that the author is trying to make it out to be. It seems to me like one of those things that leans on personal preference.
The author's sample for the behavior of generations is a few anecdotes from personal friends. How many friends does a person have, 3, or 30, or 300? That means n is pretty small when there's something like 3 billion mellenials
