In this update the app is truncating comments with more than a couple lines, forcing you to tap “read more" to see the whole thing. On "chatty" posts this gets very frustrating. If you're going to keep this (IMO) bad idea can we have an option to turn it off?

Pasting a from a earlier comment
That was annoying enough as it is, to hve that "Read more". But what is absolutely ridiculous and i am so bloody pissed off about, is the times when they don't have "read more" on a comment that has been collapsed!! When theyve collapsed the comment and given no indication whatsoever that the comment is longer with a significant part hidden!!
I only figured that out when replying comments were quoting something that I couldn't see on the original comment. Now i just click on every comment i am reading, just in case there's more that's hidden that i dont know about.
Came here to say it. Fully agree with you.
An example: I did a quick count of posts to the r/games weekly discussion thread and came up with about 120 "read mores" out of 288 comments. (r/Games Discussion for the week of June 27th)
