View submission: Accessibility Improvements on iOS and Android
Don't fuck him. I'd actually thank him because my digital well-being massively improved. Instead of doomscrolling 1-2 hours on reddit (through Sync) every day I now check reddit once a day for 5 minutes via my mobile browser. The constant nagging to use the app then stops me from staying for longer than 5 minutes.
So...thanks, spez?

That's all well and good for you personally, but this post is about accessibility. Because of all this, you were able to kill your social media addiction, but blind users have been unilaterally locked out of key features on mobile. That is unacceptable, and pointing out the upsides for yourself as an abled user (even sarcastically) seems a bit tone deaf.

old.reddit.com on mobile doesn't purposely degrade the experience just because you don't have the app. I highly recommend it. It loads faster, has smaller/less intrusive ads, much less bloated, and actually fast to use once you get the hang of it.
