Uncollapsed on mobile is pretty useless information imo.

“created” is entirely redundant. _When_ the last reply was is informal (“how old is this topic”). Who the last reply is from is not very informative when presumably you haven’t even read anything in the topic yet.

I like the summary statistics such as views and likes, plus this information can’t really be seen anywhere else so they are non-redundant.

“Frequent posters” has never proven useful to me more than a occasionally mildly interesting thing. I wouldn’t mind if it went away or hidden by a few clicks.

I find I do click on the Popular links sometimes, especially when there seems to be an outlier. But again, this could be hidden behind a couple clicks.
