It feels nice to see people express themselves with an icon and banner of something they like instead of how homogenous the icons are on Reddit, unless you paid up of course. At least that's how I feel. Definitely an unexpected pro.

I used old reddit and RIF. I don't think I ever actually saw someone's snoo icon thingy. A lot of the new reddit stuff just passed me by.

Interesting perspective. I only joined after the new UI was implemented, so I didn't even take that into account. What did you see instead, or did old Reddit just not have icons at all?

Old Reddit didnโ€™t have user icons at all.
