The entire strategization plan of Reddit as a product seems to be a box of hot shit right now. While the new UI in my POV seems to be shitty and slow, they also crammed in many shady practices like "this content is only available on the Reddit app", "this content loads better/faster on the Reddit app", "Open this page in: Reddit App, Chrome (magically assume all browsers are Chrome and that the users are foolish to not notice lol)", and... there are buttons everywhere that keep nagging "Use Reddit App".
Fuck your app Reddit, I am never gonna install your app just because you nag so much. I will use Relay for Reddit instead.
- deergomoo 4y agoI genuinely feel a little bad for the Reddit mobile web team. Imagine working on a product that announced at every opportunity that it’s total dogshit and you should use something else.

- klipklop 4y agoZero sympathy for Reddit and devs. I solved the hostile front end issue by never looking at Reddit anymore. You can't really trust that website anyways due to past privacy problems: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-edit-comments https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-stev... Seriously think carefully about what you look at or post on Reddit.
