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.
Old.reddit.com
It will get rid of that
I am not going to like the day they remove that.
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib There's some redirect browser addons like LibRedirect that can automatically redirect you to redlib instances.
This is why they removed the apps. They want to be driving traffic through the app, and the 3rd party apps prevented that from happening.
They went from providing value to extracting it.
They made the service more shitty! We need a long word to describe that process.
Hmm... is impoopify taken?
enfecification?
Are they just trying to divert as much traffic as possible through their app?
Yeah, there is 0 way that reddit reviews even 10% of of the content, probably even 5%, if even that. There's just no way. This is just a scare tactic to get you into their walled garden, to download their app, sign you up, and become a metric.
That is exacly what they try to achieve, satansmaggotycumfart.
But why?
Do they somehow get more personal data that way?
I thought closing access to the API was for my own protection!
Pro tip: add old. in the beggining of url. Reddit still has such answers for niche questions
Enshittification
They’ve had this for a while. The cheat code is to change the url to old reddit.
Or just “request desktop website”.
The only decent way to browse Reddit nowadays is a private frontend called Redlib. You can use the LibRedirect browser extension or the UntrackMe Android app to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib. It's better for privacy, since you don't need to access Reddit directly and thus your information isn't exposed, it works without JavaScript, it doesn't have ads or trackers and works behind a VPN or Tor. It also lets you view NSFW content without any limitations.
On android, I would recommend using Stealth or Geddit to browse reddit. Stealth has a mode where it scrapes old.reddit.com (and bypasses the API), and Geddit uses the RSS feed to pull content instead of API.
Downside is neither app will let you interact, but I don't have any desire to generate content for reddit anyways.
Love the absence of logic in these messages. Next time it'll be "pay $2 to continue" or "do a barrel roll to continue".
Drink a verification can to continue
I know it has nothing to do with protecting the users, but how exactly is the app supposed to make viewing unreviewed content safer?
They make more money that way, ergo safer for investors.
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!"
Easy fix is to update the url to use "old.reddit.com" rather than the base "www.reddit.com".
That sends you to a version of the site without a bunch of the crap.

Don't think of it as them being unprofessional, think of it as them having a safety valve to relieve the pressure of some people wanting to leave Reddit for Lemmy or elsewhere, because of their bs.
Someday, when they're confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.
That's prolly next on chopping block.
They recently blocked logins via old.reddit
It's been like this for quite some time now.
And anytime you use a browser, you'll always be nagged to continue viewing through browser or use their app. It comes up so obnoxiously and I swear it slows you down. They also make the viewing experience subpar unless you use the app.
Dear Spez: I AM NEVER EVER GOING TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FUCKING APP
Dear Steve.
He ain’t ever going to read that. Can we stop talking about our ex yet?
All I'm gonna say is I've been using my banned account and I can still browse any sub.
I literally can't interact in any way but can still see every post.
use old.reddit.com allegedly it lets you through if you click a "yes i am 18" button
On iOS Safari if you "Request Desktop Website" you can get around this. I'm sure something similar you can do in your android web browser.
Works to get around the mature content warning overlay. Or use old.reddit.com I think
No need for safari, I use that option in chrome and firefox. I created an account just for lurking and use desktop mode and it "works", at least it stopped bothering to get the app or restricting content because I wasn't logged in
Cryptobros, e-thots, and ads. That's Reddit these days.
"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?"
