On Reddit’s Beta Design

First, here’s the beta version. I’d say the most annoying part is the huge score, despite it being generally irrelevant. In a list-style page like Reddit, being on the front page is indicator enough for an article’s quality, without us having to know its score. And mackstann sums it up for me:
