Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".
For me it’s just that there’s a lot of knowledge in Reddit comments. Someone asking about some problem, and the comments having some useful answer. So not being able to access those is what will suck for me. Ya sure there are other forums and ways to get info, but if there’s an answer in a Reddit comment I’ll happily read it
Yes that use case is fair enough. And if someone wants to go through hoops for that, fine.
Just don’t get stockholmed 😁
Ya, and same thing with YouTube. Lots of useful knowledge on there, like how to repair some obscure part on some obscure car or whatnot.
Sucks to have to use the platform but all that knowledge is super useful
Oh how I would love if everything were not only on YouTube but also somewhere else, sigh.
