It's absurd, Reddit isn't usable from browser anymore. I've never seen a company deliberately destroying its product user experience like this just to feed a smaller portion of its services.
Where are the investors? Where's the board? Do they use the product? Reddit used to be in a dominating position for everything between 4chan and Facebook, why are they trashing everything to squeeze a bit of data? If that's benefitting the company (and I'm really in doubt of that) it's just in the shortest term... You'll see a small boost in sign ups maybe, app downloads, but the company's reputation is lost forever.

Given that and the fact that the majority of their users are probably on mobile now not desktop, I'm sure their investors and board are cheering them on to convert mobile users to App users, they're likely much more valuable.

But when they started to become hostile to techies (the insulting mobile and new web experience, and the decay of the old UI), I just visited less. I also stopped visiting Facebook since they didn't let me paste links in IceCat. The message field would break in strange ways. So long, and thanks for all the dysfunctional JavaScript.
