If I never have to use another Meta service again I'll be very happy. Unfortunately I still have to use WhatsApp because that's all anyone I know uses to communicate...maybe one day.

This feels like a huge joke lmao
Fuck reddit man. They're doing all they can to kill it
What an amazingly hostile move. It's finally pushed me to delete the mobile app altogether.
ahahaha the reason I finally stopped using Yelp was because their mobile site would only load part of a review and would force redirect to their app if you tried to expand on any reviews. Rather than download the app or change user agent, I just gave up.
every website and their mother wants you to download their app nowadays.
Reddit: "I wonder how many ways I can kill my platform at the same time?"

Tiring to see reddits downfall due to corporate greed, just as so many other sites in the past. Honestly surprised old.reddit is still around, seeing how they certainly dont like users using anything but their own inferior app. While spez said it wouldn't go anywhere I have my doubts about that.
This just proves it's not about pricing, just unwillingness to let users choose.

They already made the mobile site practically unusable by constantly reminding you to use the app. The mobile browsing experience was just terrible. They can just show the same adds in the mobile browser...

A few weeks ago, Reddit stopped the one usable mobile interface (.compact). Since then, I stopped visiting Reddit on mobile apart from a few moments of trying out miserable 3rd party apps.
I think they are just trying to get rid of people that care at this point... Lol.
The experiment just being if you quit?
I had planned to leave reddit by end of June already, and have uninstalled Infinity from my phone a couple of days ago.
But man, this piece of news makes me wish I could do even more to boycott the platform. They are nuts. Enjoy the failure 😉
It’s worth noting that this post was from last month before they announced the usurious pricing of the API. However the fact that they were doing this does not bode well for people (like me) trying to avoid using their horrendous app.

Reminder that even though reddit tried to remove the compact site, it's still available through https://reddit.com/.i

You mean the app that a significant portion of Reddit absolutely hates? Good lord. ~Strawberry
