Don't let Reddit kill 3rd party apps

Yep, nearly any important posts seem to be labeled as NSFW so you won’t be able to see them other than how Reddit wants to have you see them. This is the future we paid for with enormous amounts of VC money.

I have Reddit posts auto open in Apollo but specifically went to this one in browser to see how bad it’s gotten. It’s not just an annoying pop up. You literally cannot use most of Reddit in a mobile browser now.

And I came from the link in this post which was supposed to go to old.reddit

That’s how dire things are. I have been a reddit user since 2009, almost 15 years. But I’m not a nostalgic person. As awful as it has gotten it’s still the place where most discussion on the internet happens (and has happened for over a decade.) That can’t just be replaced overnight. They’re sitting on a huuuuge amount of content that is fully indexed by search engines too. This would be a huge blow to the internet in general I think. All so they can have a Groupon style IPO.

old.reddit.com is tolerable on mobile.
