You clearly didn't read my comment before responding, because I very clearly made the point that it's not about users wanting worse performance, but a matter of relative priority. Suggest reading before responding.
> Reddit has been pushing their reddit redesign forever now. No users ever asked for it. There is a large community of users that insist on using the old.reddit interface, and reddit has been chipping away by slowly breaking more and more things (most recently, the mod page).
And yet, clearly enough people are getting enough value from the site that it's worth the bloat to them, otherwise Reddit would have reversed the redesign years ago. I also know multiple people who voluntarily use the redesign while being aware of the classic interface.
I can't read your original comment anymore because it's flagged, but rest assured, I read it, and disagreed with it.
Users enduring yet another web 2.0 redesign does not go so far as to prove acceptance. I think every poll they've had on the redesign has been negative.
Regardless, I don't feel like continuing this discussion given your abrasive tone. Tell yourself you 'won' if it satisfies any urge to respond further.
You clearly did not, because nobody who actually read my comment and has functional reading comprehension and basic logic skills would have written these responses:
> You really think it's the users asking for bloated webpages?
> It's not users clamoring for more bloated websites, it's marketing folks.
And:
> and disagreed with it.
Disagreement is only relevant for matters of opinion. For matters of fact, like this one, there is no opinion - only facts and arguments. Can you not tell the difference between opinion and fact?
> Users enduring yet another web 2.0 redesign does not go so far as to prove acceptance.
OK, now you're just trolling, because I already addressed this point in both of the comments you've responded to.
> Tell yourself you 'won' if it satisfies any urge to respond further.
You've proven that you're either unable to read or unable to use basic logic, so it's not even that I've won - you've eliminated yourself. You haven't been able to make a single valid point - you've just misread, misunderstood, and mischaracterized my arguments, and then failed to make any coherent response whatsoever.

So, you're literally proving my point.
