> For example the Reddit website has been borderline unusable for many years, especially on mobile I've heard this many times, but I've always had exactly the opposite experience -- the infinite scroll and poor resource management makes the performance of Reddit on desktop essentially unusable, while mobile is still paginated. As long as you switch from the awful Card view to the Compact, which should have been the default in the first place, mobile seems like a far superior experience to me. I refuse to use the app, so I can't compare there. Why do people cite the mobile web experience as being worse than desktop?

The comment viewing experience on the mobile Reddit interface is quite unpleasant. My biggest complaints are: - It does full browser reloads to expand "3 More Comments" instead of asynchronously loading them, and it does this multiple times to let you see a full conversation - When you do click to read more comments the page loads are jarring and don't take you to the comment content, making you scroll to find where you were - It inserts irrelevant content (things like other posts) between the comments in a way that makes it unclear there's more to read. - Of course they also pop up at you multiple times nagging you to use their app instead. Reddit's main draw is the comment section for me. Of course in the default subs and r/popular you mostly want to avoid them, but in smaller subs they're still the heart of the community.
