Learning lessons? They're making their website worse on purpose! They don't want people to use the Reddit website — they want people to use the app, because that's where all the ads and tracking is.
It's probably 5x faster than the new mobile site, too
For example, I open a notification (the only reason I have the apo installed - this could be done with web PNs) and then either click back or the X, both wrongly navigate back one time to the same message, then close the app completely. I often have to kill the app to get out of this.
Why the hell can't we stick to documents for reading stuff, and even posting the occasional comment?
