UI in new version of iOS app

What on earth have you done? The new UI is absolutely horrible. I don't even think I can use the app anymore and I have been on Slickdeals for over 15 years. Man, what a horrible horrible swing and miss. Maybe Slickdeals hired the Apple folks who redesigned Photos just for the fun of it and everyone hated it. I just can't get over how horrendous the new iOS app is.

For the second issue - have you changed the sort order to Oldest? Is it reverting back to Newest?

It reminds me of the worst parts of Discourse without the pretty UI. I mean threading (but only 1 level deep) combined with sort by new/old, so you're re-reading the same comments over and over again when multiple people reply to it. If you have to do threading, do it Reddit style.
To reduce scrolling, use AI to create thread summaries and call out important comments (akin to automating post Wikis from the old days). Similar to how Amazon does for reviews.
