If you've ever used their mobile site, it's clear they go out of their way to sabotage the experience so that people will use the native app instead

- giantrobot 5y agoShit they even admit as much with the popup for the app saying "it's better in the app".
- nomel 5y agoAs of late, if you’re not logged in, many features get disabled, like the ability to expand/read more comments.
- giantrobot 5y agoUse old.reddit.com/i.reddit.com and many of those restrictions go away.
- docflabby 5y agoThe oddest thing is it's still better on the web than the Android app that's practically unusable. You click open in app and then it loses your thread you're trying to read. I don't even have any strong objections to the app but happy to dance though the dark ux pattern to read the posts!
- giantrobot 5y agoI have a curated list of subreddits I like to read. The moment old.reddit and i.reddit stop working I'll drop them like a bad habit. I'm not going to use their absolutely terrible "new" UI nor their insipid app.
- The_Colonel 5y agoThey sabotage the desktop site as well. I don't understand how anybody can see the current atrocity as an improvement. It's borderline unusable.
