It’s back up, but it still uses the dark pattern of forcing you to register after you scroll past a few comments, unless you’re using the old interface or an unofficial app.
So many dark patterns on reddit. Like trying to get you to use the app when you're on a tablet or mobile device. Or switching to the new interface when you click on a google search result that points at reddit.
I’m guessing they also purposely broke the back button on mobile browsers so people get fed up and install their app. It’s unfathomable how they got that wrong.
I’ve noticed a lot of links breaking in the “old” ui lately, where clicking on the picture on a post takes you to the subreddit instead of the thread. I don’t know if this is just a bug or the beginning of the end.
I’ve noticed the same behavior.
Wanted to cut down my reddit consumption anyways... :|
yeah, me too, harder to quit than twitter
I quit, haven’t looked back
News is if this doesn’t happen in a month
Reddit is so addictive honestly.. Well time to rest and get to work :/
I was surprised to learn that there are only 23 sre at reddit. The site receives more traffic than Twitter. Less than 1000 employees. Seems severely understaffed? Or other companies are extremely bloated lol
USENET, but worse.
I wonder if this had something to do with the quarantine of NNN.
thank god it stopped me from mindlessly scrolling.. yet here i am on hn, lol.
Lol, I read that as - 'Major outrage on Reddit' & went 'huh, nothing new'
