Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".
Lmao. The personalization is exactly what I don’t want, so fuck off. Also, it’s pretty easy to circumvent. I’m sure there’s multiple ways, but I just go to old reddit.
Oh I love personalization. When I am the one doing it and not an algorithm doing what it “thinks” is better for me.
“Here’s a bunch of lies. We are going to track the fuck out of your dumb ass.”
They’ll kill old Reddit eventually
And then the site will effectively die
I wouldn’t mind if they did it soon tbf. That way I would find other ways to pass the time at work
That sentiment reminds me of this:
I’m surprised they haven’t yet. I only go on reddit for specific TV show subreddits, but even that is mostly filled with people clearly hate watching the show.
