I know its easier than ever to dunk on how terrible reddit has gotten, but honestly? What is this? How is is safer to deliver this content to kids viewing reddit on a tablet or PC or in the app? Why even create the bs excuse?
They could just have easily told the truth an displayed a message like “Content is limited. Open in the app to view.” It’s still a jerk move, but at a minimum its honest.
You think that’s bad? They have four of these “promo” dialogs to push users to the Reddit
spywareapp.- Unreviewed community (the one you’re seeing).
- NSFW content.
- Trending content (yes, you read that right).
- Special events (like r/place).
Fuck Spez.
You forgot one: “Can we see some ID?”

Or just wait til they abandon you
The best tablet for kids is one with no fucking speakers.
Desktop mode and move on.
That’s why i don’t use reddit anymore
Such a sad state of affairs over there.
Idk about other browsers but firefox has an option to load in desktop view, that is what I do to bypass that when I need an answer to something quick and every other source sucks
Get desktop site on your phone. Problem solved
I don’t know about that, even when I’m in desktop mode the site is Nigh unusable. It’ll refresh the page when I use the back button after viewing a thread and after a short while the whole page will freeze and become unresponsive. Reddit has purposefully made the site as frustrating as possible to use to the point where I don’t even use it to browse my niche subreddits anymore.
Reddit sucks lol
Has anyone tried to scrape Reddit, so that the valuable content from some subs isn’t lost for good?
I suppose we could just ask whatever AI it is that they’re selling the data to.
The mildly infuriating thing is we still go there on occasion
Only because its like the top 8 google results for mostly everything i search!
And it seems like because of the content deal they got https://www.businessinsider.com/why-reddit-is-taking-over-google-right-now-2024-4
I was preferring the scenario where reddit wanted to block Google because “they don’t need the visits” https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/20/23925504/reddit-deny-force-log-in-see-posts-ai-companies-deals
Isn’t it wonderful that google SEO algorithm updates essentially killed off independent forums and blogs? Half of my search results are Reddit and completely irrelevant AI spam.
That’s what you get when Instead of Google getting better at indexing sites, the sites got better at being indexed
Or get links by that one stubborn friend who refuses to leave and thinks creating an account on Lemmy is too much hassle despite having one for every popular site to ever exist.
Friend? What’s that?
Infinity for Reddit still works
