I use reddit on my mobile browser without logging into to an account. Recently when clicking links or images in the mobile view a pop-under will appear freezing the site until I select the prominent first option (to download the Reddit mobile app) or the second option to continue using my mobile browser. Because I am unauthenticated this preference does not carry over to page reloads for things like jumping to a different subreddit, leading me to experience this pop-under over and over again.

Needless to say it's cut heavily into my reddit usage. I genuinely believe they raised a bunch of money, hired a bunch of engineers and managers, convinced the C-levels a re-design was necessary, and then implemented a subpar re-design with a giant middle finger to users all in the name of ads. Glorious, world improving, ads.

It's incredibly annoying. I've built out my own mobile website for interfacing with Reddit because of it. Update after update the mobile.reddit.com keeps becoming harder to use.

login in solves a lot of problems. I know It's no longer anonymous but you can at least use a fake name. If you log in you can disable that infuriating popup. Also, you don't have to look at only the default list of garbage subreddits.

Reddit not logged in is like watching that garbage truck full of memes crash into on-coming traffic.

Best way to avoid this is to use an app. No need to login, and some like Apollo even provide ways to "subscribe" to subreddits without logging in.
