haha, digg
They already made the mobile site practically unusable by constantly reminding you to use the app. The mobile browsing experience was just terrible. They can just show the same adds in the mobile browser...

oh dear. Thats just evil
It almost looks like Reddit is trying to commit suicide in the fastest possible way.
I still have an account there. But I will delete it the moment the Apollo goes dark.

Looks like reddit really doesn't want people to use reddit ... if that weren't obvious already

ahahaha the reason I finally stopped using Yelp was because their mobile site would only load part of a review and would force redirect to their app if you tried to expand on any reviews. Rather than download the app or change user agent, I just gave up.
every website and their mother wants you to download their app nowadays.
My mobile is experimenting with not visiting reddit.
Reddit has amazing SEO, and it looks like Spez is now hell bent on destroying that as well.
What a fucking incompetent moron. Google hates when people put roadblocks over mobile web experiences. Over the past 5-ish years they've down ranking sites that obstruct m.web.

It's all part of the plan to make their horrid app experience the only way to view Reddit content on mobile, in order for them to get not just some user data, but ALL the user data.
Reddit is dying in flames, and I couldn't be happier.
this is a beginning of the end for reddit as we know it
Alrighty, they aren't even trying to be subtle anyone
Or many they still are, in which case wow thats kinda sad
well I an certainly not downloading the app
The fact they are running experiments on their users without opt-in is disgusting. In what world is that okay? Facebook also ran many psychological experiments on their users like shadow-banning them just to see if they felt more alone without telling people. It's gross.

Awesome, they're making even easier to not go back there.
We're watching Reddit die in real time.
Oh man, along with the api changes, blocking mobile browsers really might end Reddit. It’s sad that this is all a self-own that could be reversed if they chose. Oh well, that’s on them.
Blocked reddit.com on my router today. Sigh....looks like the end.
The worst part of that is reddit is the only way to get good Google results anymore. I'm concerned about how bad google search will be.
