    Every time I click a Reddit link now it’s just “download the app to verify your age” regardless of what it is

        There’s a firefox extension “old reddit redirect” that’ll do this for you. Been using it for years. But yeah any day now I expect old reddit to be offline.

          I don’t, I’m convinced it’s a “if you raise the price of the hotdog, I will kill you” kind of deal (as in, some of the devs still use the old UI for themselves)

            I mean, I would’ve said the same about the mobile apps, but here we are.

              That’s different, they didn’t remove the apis that enable mobile apps, they just made them unreasonably expensive. But you can theoretically still use them

                in practical terms the apps were killed anyway though
