As much as I hate it, I disagree. There are more users than ever. old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com are fine. I have a problem with my older device on it, newer one is fine, it’s worst yes but it’s not unusable, we’re used to older technology (like too small fonts and zooming in) the new interface is more attractive to other people, we are the ones who will remember what a headphone jack was.

No it’s a grotesque technique which goes against the open web and should be condemned for the garbage that it is.

If your website is resorting to do this then your website has failed.

How is requiring an app to view submissions not making the web version unusable?

[GhettoComputers]

You don't need to, I didn't for a long time with an JS extension (iOS JB). I don't like the layout myself.

If requiring a JavaScript extension to make it worthwhile isn't a sign of it being unusable, I don't know what is!

The website is literally unusable - they prevent you from viewing more than a few posts without installing the app.

They literally pulled a yelp with their mobile website and made it useless other than a redirect to the app store.

What Yelp and Reddit do to mobile clients should get them de-ranked by search engines. It's terrible.
