Reddit actually has a particularly cursed combination of the two: "Log in or install app to see this content".

No idea why the (SFW!) content I wanted to look at was considered "18+" in the first place; it was just a discussion of a company that I was curious about. I can't help but think that they're getting more and more liberal in applying this content flag, since it must drive either account creations or app installs (and often both). I even have a Reddit account, but now I just can't be bothered to follow any search results there anymore.

The web is really getting smaller and smaller by the day, with large platforms gobbling up content and engagement under the guise of being "just another website/forum/blog/..." at first, but inevitably ending behind a paywall, login-wall, or in a mandatory app install, and often even all three.

You can still view the content if you replace `www` with `old`. It's annoying, but works.

Not sure about other browsers, but Brave has a “website redirects” setting to do this automatically.

Ah that's good to know. I use Brave and didn't know that!
