View submission: Help…did Reddit just destroy mobile browser access, or am I missing a setting?
The internet appears to be in a race to the bottom with user-hostile decisions such as this.
If your app doesn't exceed the functionality of a well written website, then your app does not serve any function and should be discarded. Don't double down on it by eradicating web functionality on the fucking web.

At this point, I would not be surprised if Reddit eventually decides to do what Facebook *threatened to do* at one point, which is to lock basic website functionality behind an app ***even on Windows***. They planned to make it so, even on a Win10 desktop (or MacOS, or $linuxflavoroftheday, etc), you would be unable to load Messenger DMs unless you installed (and *gave admin rights to*) the dedicated app. Even now, a lot of the functionality is inaccessible even in a desktop browser...

Oh but it does, an app allows for a lot more tracking.

If you do not pay for the service, you are not the user, you are the product.
