reddit now forces you to use their app on mobile
One of my personal rules for social media is that I only use the web version of sites. The web version is better for privacy, far less addictive, and makes my phone less bloated.
In the last few days, Reddit added a great new feature to the the mobile web version of their site.
Now, when you try to browse their site on your phone, you will encounter the below paywall-esque popup after scrolling a bit.
You cannot dismiss the popup. You must download the app or request a desktop version of the site.
I guess finally a good enough nudge to finally quit Reddit completely.
No love lost1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay, some love lost. Reddit contains many of the remaining forums on the internet, so it sucks those won't be reachable anymore.↩
