Reddit is the same way if you don't go to old.reddit.com. You see that there are N comments, but you only get to read the first few, and suddenly you're looking at an entirely different post. Every time I accidentally go there I get confused by it. There is no chance anybody asked for this, it's so stupid it had to come out of perversely chasing some metric.
That behaviour is complete madness. And old.reddit has pretty much the perfect interface for computer usage anyway. Why they won't just label it "desktop style" and call it a day is beyond me.
And often when you expand comment replies the comment you were looking at disappears and you have to scroll around to find it again. It must be deliberate, there's no way you accidentally make something work that poorly.
