> It feels like they just want you to use the App so you have to look at their advertisements. I browse using iOS Safari in privacy mode. Over the past few months Reddit has been doing everything they can to discourage that, including blocking me from reading threads by throwing up a non-dismissible modal with the bogus statement “We cannot verify this content yadda”, preventing sub-comment expansion, and screwing with the URL made available to the iOS share via messages. The latter is just stupid: instead of the URL for the thread, they substitute the Reddit homepage. Instead of being able to track which of the links I send are interesting to the recipients, they get no useful info whatsoever, and discourage me from attracting eyeballs to their product. It’s stupid, squared. All they are really accomplishing is hardening my resolve to not give an inch. Eventually another popular headline & dopamine feed will come along and they’ll lose my eyeballs.
