see attached image, but basically having the images on the right side makes it so hard to “read” a post with an image, going back and forth with your eyes to “get” the whole post. So much easier to just put the images between the up-/downvote buttons and the text post.

I don’t know if there’s a reason for that besides looking different from similar sites. If so, I don’t think this is the way, it really puts a strain on your eyes and our brain is not used to absorb information in this way.

    This might make things less pleasant to read if you have a mix of posts both with and without thumbnails, because the text would no longer all line up.

        I mean to each their own but I find this hideous. Maybe when you’re sorting by a post type guaranteed to have a thumbnail, like image or link, it should shift it all over to the left? I could get behind that.

        Do take my opinions on what looks good with a healthy dose of skepticism; I am one of the few people that like the look of new reddit, so I’m probably a little broken inside. Haha

          I’m really not saying that this is for everybody, and am pretty sure at some point everyone can have a personalized style :)
