> If, at any point, she accidentally follows a link, it really pisses her off

is it partially because new reddit is a SPA that just craps itself when going to a external link and loses where you were?

It’s mind boggling - the primary feature of Reddit being a link aggregator - and clicking on a link breaks everything. Literally, Reddit will say “I’ve broken, please reload me” if you try to “go back” from the link you just clicked on.

I have that exact frustration. I now consciously just close reddit.

I have deleted my reddit accounts a few months ago. One of the best decisions.

I still use old reddit and Apollo on mobile.

It has to do more with every other platform being hostile to embedded videos, especially on mobile. Nothing plays inline anymore.
