Worth mentioning that mobile ≠ app. Many people use Reddit in their browsers. Or the official app for that matter. This article doesn't really give those numbers which I'm sure unfortunately place the third party app users in a smaller minority. Still, I never used a third party app personally and I was still outraged enough at Reddit's behavior to leave. Hopefully more will follow suit.
Aren't they also pushing changes to have mobile browsers redirect to the app with no option for staying in the browser?
It could stop you from using the browser altogether and point you to the app.
That's what they're currently testing out, yes.
It will, actually.Reddit has been testing forced app usage via blocking mobile browsers entirely, like Pinterest does, for around 2.5 weeks.
What an unnecessarily user-hostile move. No wonder they’re going to implement it.
