Mine says "come to the app, it has more cats/dogs". Some "UX engineer" ab/testing usage patterns, maybe?

It annoys me to the point of sadness. Some of the greatest minds, the most capable programmers of our time spending their meager existance using their skills to make people "install our app". Disgusting.

I put .compact at the end of the URL for mobile viewing:

https://www.reddit.com/.compact

the same result can be achieved by replacing www. with i. (for some reason it redirects on desktop, it works on mobile though)

I love that there are like 5 different ways to get around Reddit’s new site design.

> insulting the user's intelligence.

If it's true that the majority of users are using the app, does that not suggest that it's effective?

>If I want to read something on Reddit on my phone I just use Chrome's "Desktop site" option.

Same. It's still awful though. It really is insulting. How is it that I could do this perfectly fine 10 years ago but _now_ I have to use an app?
