If I want to read something on Reddit on my phone I just use Chrome's "Desktop site" option.
Everything about these nags is idiotic to the point of insulting the user's intelligence. The randomness, the timing, and the messages themselves.
What is the browser for then? Is a browser such as Chrome not enough for a fucking forum in 2022? This circlejerk is completely out of control.

- snowwrestler 4y agoI put .compact at the end of the URL for mobile viewing: https://www.reddit.com/.compact https://www.reddit.com/.compact
- username923409 4y agothe same result can be achieved by replacing www. with i. (for some reason it redirects on desktop, it works on mobile though)
- snowwrestler 4y agoI love that there are like 5 different ways to get around Reddit’s new site design.

Mine says "come to the app, it has more cats/dogs". Some "UX engineer" ab/testing usage patterns, maybe? It annoys me to the point of sadness. Some of the greatest minds, the most capable programmers of our time spending their meager existance using their skills to make people "install our app". Disgusting.
