The amount of dark patterns Reddit has introduced in their web app is ridiculous.
At first, they would prompt you to install the web app every other page load, and now they don't even let you expand comment threads.
Why spend so much time and resources on rebuilding your web app if you're gonna cripple the experience so much? The funny thing is it makes conversion rates on the web app even worse, so they have even more reason to push you onto the native version.
- saagarjha 6y agoYeah, I remember them randomly enabling it for years, basically gaslighting users whenever they would bring it up saying that “we shouldn’t ask you to login, if it is doing it that’s a bug”. But clearly they were just A/B testing it to the point where they could enable this all the time.
