i think they’re intentionally making reddit on desktop less pleasant to use to try to transition everyone to their shitty app on mobile, so that they can finally kill 3rd-party clients…
It’s not even a maybe at this point. They are actively trying to passively destroy 3rd party apps. Notice how when they release “cool” new features like chat, live video, polls, and probably others idk they never release the apis. They know that if they just stopped with the main api they would get insane backlash so instead they leave the people currently using 3rd party apps to use them with a worse experience and instead focus on getting all the newcomers to use the main app with all the features. I’ve noticed a higher number of screenshots from the reddit app compared to a couple years ago and in like 5 years there will probably be a much smaller number of 3rd party apps. This may just be some conspiracy bullshit and I hope it is but it’s reddit soo…
yeah, just wow!!

Didnt think about that, maybe they are doing that.
