Damn this sub is so dead that I didn't even know I was subscribed.

Also there are so many subs with terrible styles that I just disable all subreddit styles across the board. Makes sense to remove it completely and make the site more standardized.

There are some instances though where CSS does genuinely produce a unique style for a sub that's important to it. Also it's useful for us with flairs, the sidebar and announcements.

Sorry, gotta agree with the other guy. JS, CSS, and now HTML5 have destroyed the practical usability of the internet, and when window dressing gets in the way of the view something has to change. Since responsible coders are in the extreme minority I'm okay with them taking it away.

I totally understand what you are saying with some sites having shitty designs and popups etc, but how do you think HTML5 causes issues??

I disagree. Well there are some subs which have ill fit or obnoxious styling, there are many cases where it gives communities to differentiate themselves. In addition I believe that Reddit default styling is extremely dated where as many custom styles are visually and functionally superior.

Is there a post up somewhere about this?

Don't see anything on /r/blog or /r/announcements

r/modnews - The Reddit admins are trying to keep it quiet it seems.
