I don’t use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn’t find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
libreddit to the rescue
yeah, i mean, why do you think we’re using this platform right now
I mean yeah, reddit fucking sucks. That’s why we’re all here. Stop going there.
You can open as a desktop page and it works… Or you know… Old.reddit
They have done this for a long time now.
Dear Spez: I AM NEVER EVER GOING TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FUCKING APP

I just woke up to my phone alarm pretty bleary and started randomly scrolling. Ended up in this thread below.
Even half asleep, none of this look like human comms to me. The whole thread is an advertisement, with undreds of unique participants.
“Download our app and consume ads on it because… becaaaaauuuuuusssseeeeee, um, let’s say SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Maybe terrorism? Just pick a reason you’d believe and get the app, okay?”
I think what’s even more annoying is when you actually do use the app, every community you visit, it pops up a notification that says “turn on notifications so you don’t miss updates from this community!”
Just change your view to desktop viewer.
I just switch to desktop mode and never had any problem…
This is nothing new. Theyve been doing this for quite a while now.
They have done this for years now - this is not new.
no offense but who the fuck cares, you know what i mean? that shithole can enjoy the hell it has consigned itself to.
And like, why are people surprised it’s only getting worse? Of course it is, we knew long ago the removal of 3rd party app was the beginning of the master plan to monetize our communities.
They’re surprised because they’ve already gotten used to the previous thing.
the beginning of the master plan to monetize our communities.
I think it was closer to the middle of the plan.
The Enshitification will continue until moral improves.
After morale improves, enshittification will accelerate.
