I was just looking at one URL that hit the front page a day or two after publication so I don't think there were many bots.

The other three quarters are HN users with adblock so they don't register in GA but register in Cloudflare (and my logs) because that cannot be blocked.

Or is that 80% of HN uses adblock? > Is GA still relevant today? Of course it is. While a large part of HN audience might use adblock, very few regular users do and almost no mobile users. Looking at my logs, however, I get a similar pro

In my experience in Asia it's about 50-50 chance that it's either double-press, long press or second press that cancels it or that it's not enabled.

Quite an interesting read, thank you. I particularly liked: "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from nature". I don't entirely agree that nature is efficient by our definition of the word. It takes A LOT of

> In desktop Reddit posts are actually modal dialogs... This is just shitty UX but not dishonest though. But I hate it too since I click as well. Plus, you often lose the scroll position. :\

It's not requiring an email that's bad. It's making it look like it's required but not saying that it's not.

> UX is as incompetent I don't agree with you there. Their UX is very competent it's just not pursuing the "correct" X.

Gifts and currently rewards are just much easier and much much shittier versions of a marketplace and Patreon.

Well, I mean I get what you're saying but that's my whole point. Reddit isn't (yet) providing a service worth paying for and I suggest things that I might pay for. Secondly, there's plenty of free (as in money) things we

> This whole rant post is about reddit requiring users to register to use their (free) service. Yes, in part, but your comment disregards two things. 1. The dishonest things they're doing to require that. 2. The fact that they'

So, of course my suggestion might seem naive given I don't have access to the numbers or knowing exactly the stack or employee numbers, etc. but it's a good exercise. So: I would basically copy Patreon in service of getting conten
