It may be separate from the API issue, but the purpose is still the same: to monetize your eyeballs at the expense of everything else.

Reddit is officially on a bankruptcy speedrun.
That will end well. /s
@[email protected] can you fix the archive link, please? The one you shared tries to take a new snapshot :)

As if it wasn’t bad enough to ask if I want to use the default mobile app every time I go to a Reddit page on my mobile web browser. 😕
Are they legally allowed to just do that? Just shadow ban certain users temporarily for an 'experiment'?
If so... Why is that legally allowed??

Tapping on a Reddit link from mobile has mostly been pretty similar to this already for me. They have had an issue with DDG mobile browser for ages, refused to show more than a page of content and kept prompting me to "get the app", which didn't seem to recognise my third-party Reddit app... So I just hit the back button. Just recently, oddly, I noticed it had started working, but I'm in the habit of ignoring Reddit links on mobile anyway now so almost never go there whether it works or not.
Whelp it was a good run with Reddit. But their app is trash and now experimenting blocking browser access is bullshit. That may be the final straw that convinced me to delete my account.
The default site literally doesn't work on mobile anyway so it's not like it makes much difference.
