Redditt is becoming more and more difficult to use on the web over the last couple of months or so. They know that there are browser extensions that filter out unwanted elements, and also that trackers and fingerprints are increasingly being blocked.
You can’t be tracked as easily with a properly configured browser and I suspect that this is what the change is all about. I will continue using Reddit on the browser, for now, but am happy to ditch it if it becomes a problem.
There is a lot of AI and Human slop posted these days - I am getting fed up with having to decipher posts from people who simply cannot string a coherent sentence together. I am also getting fed up with people using expletives and profanities and just wish people would communicate properly.
The shutdown of third-party apps and the “API exodus” was all because of reddit wanting people on the first-party platform where they have control.
Breaking the mobile web client is the same deal - they want people in app, because app is the most intrusive and least blockable, and where reddit can really monetise you.

That’s what this has always been about.

Glad I bailed on reddit when I did.
