Reddit is completely unusable on mobile without the app. I get that they want ad revenue, and if they were less ham-handed about it (and if their app was significantly less shitty, and with more subtle ads), I might have installed it.
I'll keep using Reddit from a desktop browser, but I won't install the app. So now they get no revenue from me, when they had the chance to get some.
On my phone in Brave/Chrome I use desktop mode and old.reddit.com which is fine in terms of usability (completely agree that default Reddit mobile is a user-hostile embarrassment).
I don’t trust a company like this enogh to install their software on my machine. If they do the design equivalent of cutting your wrists and begging for love even less so.
I was the traditional target demographic of reddit, now I will go out of my way to avoid it. Just like Pinterest
