Yep. Sometimes reddit has an image that’s either incorrectly cropped or it’s zoomed out so far that it’s unreadable. How many times do I need to click on the image before I can see it properly? I’ve counted as many as 4 taps through various awful image viewer things. Sometimes no about of tapping and zooming will render the image properly. The irony is my browser is great at showing images already - panning and zooming works beautifully.
I miss Apollo. The friction with Reddit’s awful design and coding choices makes me use their site a lot less. I think that might be a good thing in the long run. It leaves me hungry for something better.
Imgur does the same, but that at least can be remedied by stripping the Referer header. I wonder how long this will last.
I predict Sec-Fetch-* will be abused for the same purpose. It may be already.
