Rework how the new comments system is to be implemented

[Insignis]

I love MD. I am so used to daily checking my manga feed. Click on comments - no comments nothing happens, comments are there it opens the forum thread. Click on chapter to open it. All in new tabs. Then I read comments, read chapter comments were about. Read chapter and potentially post a comment if there were no comments yet. Or just read comments if its about chapter I already read, just from different group.

Now opening comments opens that damn chapter with some special side tab, showing me last comment or telling me to pay to read/comment/something before others. It automatically marks that chapter as read, so if I just want to read comments, I need to go to the chapter, click the link to the forum in the new panel, close said panel, click on the manga title to go to its main page, and uncheck the "seen" mark, to keep stuff clean like it was before.

Not to be rude, but who ever designed this change has no clue what clean UI/UX is or they were forced by someone to make the site worse, to make fake "viewed/seen" marks appear on as many chapters and their versions as possible, and/or make people dislike commenting to close the forums? Cause like this is just bad.

I'm sure this has been said before but what I don't understand is why they're so stubborn on this one forum issue when there's no monetary influence to enshittify something that's been working completely fine before.
