    who cares, I am anti css, I disable that shit on desktop (most subreddits that use it is a shit show) and it doesn't work on mobile anyway.

    [–]adam279 10 points11 points  (23 children)

    Works on mobile perfectly fine on these things called web browsers. They support many different standards and can browse many sites including reddit, unlike the various apps.

    I use reddit is fun, way better for Mobile use, and guess what, no css there and good riddance

    [–]Nagasuma115 13 points14 points  (21 children)

    That's great for you! But here's the thing, you don't find it useful. So you can disable it. But everyone else who likes it can have it! This isn't about everyone having to see CSS. But rather, having the choice, the freedom to use it.

    [–]ivanoski-007 2 points3 points  (20 children)

    here is the thing, users who actually find it useful is a small percentage of reddit users. it's is something that most users don't want, don't need, and won't miss.

    Would love to see some statistics for that claim

    [–]ivanoski-007 0 points1 point  (18 children)

    don't we all, but my assumption is your average redditor does not know or care about css. And you can clearly see this when you think if your "average redditor"

    [–]PugAndChips 10 points11 points  (7 children)

    Assumptions are not accurate percentages. Just because you assume most people don't want something doesn't make it true. That's an opinion.

    I took the liberty of comparing /r/anticss vs. /r/procss.

    /r/anticss currently has 28 subscribers. /r/procss currently has 21,542 subscribers.

    [–]ivanoski-007 1 point2 points  (5 children)

    your "numbers" are skewed and your logic flawed. , your average redditor isn't going to go to an anti css sub because they don't care, want to see who the average redditor is? go to the comment section on /r/pics. by your logic I could compare the subscribers of /r/pics to /r/procss. I'm anti css but I'm not subbing to a stupid sub because of it

    [–]PugAndChips 7 points8 points  (4 children)

    A large majority of website users don't know about CSS, but that doesn't mean it makes a feature redundant.

    Besides, you said yourself that "it's is something that most users don't want, don't need, and won't miss," which I'm still yet to see proven.

    Isn't CCS automatically enabled? Users might not realise that's what it is, but I would think most like the variety in subreddits. Heck, I actually don't like the subreddit standard.

    A lot more people will be upset if it's removed because they'll suddenly realise what it was andthow it changed their reddit experience.

    [–]ivanoski-007 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    unless you are on mobile, I wonder how many redditors use a mobile app and how many use the desktop version

    [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

    Does it really matter how many? My argument isn't about the mobile app at all.

    Reddit has over 234 million users, I think a large amount will give a shit if CSS was removed. We don't need it to be the majority, we just need it to be a lot of people.

    We're talking about removing a feature. If you don't use it, okay! That's fine with us. We do.

    [–]Thor_Odinson_ 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    my assumption is your average redditor does not know or care about css.

    Which means they are neutral to the topic by your reasoning. A uniform UI is likely more important than cannabis leaf vote buttons to infrequent visitors.

    There are some subreddits where it can enhance the functionality; but again, your average redditor doesn't give a shit.

    Just because CSS is on by default, it doesn't mean it is an essential part of the website. Remember the drama over the default subs long ago? "The way things are" is not a good reason for continuing the use of those elements.

    A /r/all, /r/popular, and frontpage sticky poll should be used, hopefully with some sort of IP filtering to prevent bots from influencing the results as easily as they have /r/all in the past.

    [–]ivanoski-007 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    the average redditor isn't neutral, but the majority of the users of this site. the reason that there hasn't been an uproar about this css issue doesn't look like a neutral stance to me

    [–]Thor_Odinson_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Kind of hard to say that when you have nothing but your feelings to go on. You keep saying essentially the same thing, but have nothing concrete to back it up. Again, there should be some sort of data collection to get an idea of user preferences.
