The default Reddit web site on desktop is excruciating enough to use. On mobile it's unusable. I only use old.reddit.com. If that ever went away I would never visit Reddit again.

Might be worth checking out libredirect [1] which I use on desktop and mobile to automatically redirect reddit links to privacy-respecting front-ends like libreddit and teddit. Also since I have it on my default browser on Android, even if I open a reddit link from, say, a hackernews app, the popup webview will use my default browser which will in turn automatically redirect to libreddit/teddit. I never have to worry about seeing reddit's annoying web app, never have to worry about giving reddit my data.
(old.reddit.com still does give reddit data, and from my experience Reddit does a lot of tracking IPs + working with google + traffic correlation to figure out what stuff you browse. However if you still prefer old reddit, libredirect does provide an option to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com instead of libreddit or teddit)

Apollo on iOS is great if you’re looking for a Reddit app that doesn’t suck. Not sure if you’re on iOS though.

>I personally stop browsing Reddit and Twitter when their fuck-you-banners appears
That's what https://old.reddit.com is for. Simply prepending "old." to the reddit link makes everything work better.
Works on mobile and desktop, just as it always had.
And no fuck-you banners.

There's also https://i.reddit.com/ for mobile devices.
... So thanks for keeping my periods of distraction very short! Maybe they just care about their users' mental health and are sacrificing their engagement for it :)
