Do you think hotwheels is sabotaging the site so that we'll accept the more reddit-like infinity next?
I think that because 8ch looks too much like an actual chan, he's worried that redditors, which are arguably most of his userbase, will get spooked and won't use the site.
To compensate he's made infinity next look and feel like reddit. In addition he's also made the layout more confusing to appeal to non-SJW teens that use tumblr and are used to confusing, inconvenient loadouts.
Seriously, Infinity Next looks like 8ch and reddit had a baby.
