What about if you switch your mobile browser to Desktop Mode? That seems to work for YouTube's fuckery where they pause videos when minimized on mobile.
But still, it's principle. Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Reddit can burn.
What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!
The mobile browsing experience was a huge shitshow anyway. Randomly refreshing webpage, comments never posting or posting 5 times, expanding comments would work sometimes. They actively nuked it to make people use the reddit app. Fuck them
And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive revolution in how the internet landscape looks and works sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x
Reddit: "I wonder how many ways I can kill my platform at the same time?"
Of course they are, gotta make everyone use the shitty app to farm as much data as possible!
As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left
Reminder that even though reddit tried to remove the compact site, it's still available through https://reddit.com/.i
This feels like a huge joke lmao
Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.
This is incredibly pathetic. Why the asshats running reddit want to kill it this hard before an IPO is beyond me
I can maybe think of the thought process of people so far removed from how people use reddit trying to squeeze as much money out of it but killing it in the process, but it feels so dumb that I'm not sure I'm convinced
I had planned to leave reddit by end of June already, and have uninstalled Infinity from my phone a couple of days ago.
But man, this piece of news makes me wish I could do even more to boycott the platform. They are nuts. Enjoy the failure 😉
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
