They've already gotten rid of the .compact frontend and actively removed workarounds/aliases that users discovered when it was first removed. Old reddit is definitely next up on the chopping block.
- prox 3y agoLightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB) Was new reddit designed by actual morons? 24 MB and 190 requests! How did that pass any sort of QA?
- Maxion 3y agoAd tracking, and obfuscation to make scraping harder, plus it's trendy to use lot's of JS libraries.
- prox 3y agoI just saw this comment on the Apolloapp reddit : >They’re trying to overvalue their services before going public. Execs want to cash out and move to a tropical island. I can’t wait for this cesspool to fail.
- Avery3R 3y agoappending .i to the end of the url will still get you the compact frontend
- Tmpod 3y agoI was quite sure you meant to say prefixing i. (which no longer works) but tried going to reddit.com/.i anyways and it actually works! I hope it stays operational, but surely they will also nuke it eventually :/
