Given all the other things Reddit does, it seems to me this could just be another part of the “ruin the web to push the app” strategy.


Even their mobile site and app has become more hostile and laden with dark patterns.

At this point, I can't even treat Reddit like a collection of community forums anymore... They make it impossible to read a thread when you come in from a Google result (unless you know the cheat code, change www in the url to old) and their content filtering is something out of a dystopian novel written by a schizophrenic bot. Trying to find any specific piece of info? Good luck.


I always assumed the push to the app was to give them more control to push whatever content they want down your throat.
