Allow me to demonstrate the issue with the placement of Watched Threads.

Waste of space in blue, annoying placement in red.
So much fucking empty space. The entire layout of the page is off-balance. The colums were somewhat organized before and close enough to even. The left primary column was for the primary content of the site, while the right was informational. It just... doesn't make a lot of sense to me, especially when anybody who uses the Watched Threads list should go to the full page easily accessible with a single click on the top bar like a sane person. Just middle-click the threads into new tabs and reuse the same watch page.

Mobile fags don't count.

At this point, you guys should just create your own images to reply to since they are just images in a post. Completely custom! Hey, you could call them reaction images! Wow, that is a crazy new idea that has never existed before!

These changes seem to go against having fun on this webzone. The "problems" caused by DMs and reaction scores are users making fools of themselves and receiving immediate community feedback on how and what they post. They serve a number of purposes and generate very funny content.

To fully engage requires some kind of sharing and positive/negative feedback. The sharing happens in DMs because while they're not safe, they are not in a permanent, searchable thread frequented by people who will mock you or strongly characterize you off the smallest detail. The feedback occurs with reactions. Removing the notification and score isn't freeing anyone from autism, it's encouraging low quality drive by shitposts and removing a key incentive for effort posts. Lots of the best posts in a given thread ranging from created art, cross-referencing records, putting together a big theory or a dox are partially if not fully motivated by positive reactions.

I don't think this is going to improve posts overall at all, and will lead to less user effort as they're denied their dopamine. We ruthlessly mock it, but it is a big driver for large portions of the site.

Absolutely; I can understand Josh's desire for the a discussion forum to be about discussion and for people to not judge others by "points"--but then why have the pink triangles, or any other indication that a person could be "troublesome"? Hell, if the discussion is all that matters, why not just make the board entirely anonymous like one of the chans?
