The front-end is a disaster, especially on mobile.
It provides a paradigmatic example for people who believe SPAs are an invention from Satan himself. I actually love React and could have an SPA built that is a 100x better - but that is neither here nor there. The problem is that some features are half-assed or simply not implemented. The comment tree is a disaster, and pretty much in every interaction I discover new problems and bugs.
Cheery on the cake is that lately I am clicking on certain
posts and getting a message along the lines of "We cannot verify whether this content is suitable for work and therefore cannot place ads against it. Please download the app to view it."
What. The actual. Fuck.
I understand why from a company perspective an app is more interesting to you than a mobile site, but you haven't managed to persuade me in all these years why I need an app for what amounts to viewing content, saving my subreddit selection, and posting an occasional comment. If your strategy is to simply kick us out of the mobile site, then fine - I will stop using your site. I guarantee it.
