I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
I mean yeah, reddit fucking sucks. That's why we're all here. Stop going there.
Fuck Reddit, delete that shit and hope for Spez to get AIDS and cancer.
Just change your view to desktop viewer.
You can open as a desktop page and it works... Or you know... Old.reddit

var oldReddit = window.location.protocol + "//" + "old.reddit.com" + window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash;
window.location.replace (oldReddit);
Edited so it still allows image preview, because old.reddit' one is broken now.
old.reddit.com/r/whatever
What happens if you replace "www" in the URL with "old"?
They might not have the block there
They have done this for years now - this is not new.
Lmao that's so shameless
And just intellectually dishonest. It makes no sense that it's OK to view the same content in the app but not on the web.
yeah, i mean, why do you think we're using this platform right now
This is nothing new. Theyve been doing this for quite a while now.
I didn't read all the comments here so someone else may have suggested this but for my android when I'm met with this I can open the browser options and choose desktop site to bypass it. Still annoying but every once in a while I need info goddamnit
my guess is that net neutrality doesn't extend to wireless communication.
this is their end around by making you use their app.
