Did I miss something? Or just a joke about the future of reddit because obviously they will go for it at some point.
When I go to a subreddit a popup appears over similar to those news sites asking me to either login or open in app. So it's kinda the present
That's for NSFW communities. Since the protests, quite a lot of communities are still marked as NSFW, even if they're not, in reality.
If you’re on mobile it will happen when you just search a question on google, no matter the subreddit
Firstly, why are you using Google? Secondly, you must be doing something else wrong because I have never seen that outside of NSFW stuff. The only time I go to reddit is on mobile via the browser when I'm searching for something, and I'm not logged into an account.
Are you under the impression you're talking to your 8 yr old?
That’s great that it doesn’t happen for you. For me, any time I end up on Reddit in a browser on iPhone, it gives the obnoxious “open in app or continue in browser” popup.
I use private mode in safari though, maybe it’s not saving a cookie or something.
That does not mean you need to log in. If you press continue it'll go to the website.
I know that. I’m talking about the shitty popup.
I understand that the problem is being on mobile (and not on old.reddit). Everything might work fine on desktop.
I use Firefox and have uBlock installed. I still get an error when I click on NSFW posts. Old.reddit still works, though.
So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?
Why am I not surprised.
Reddit has always required login to view NSFW. ETA: Whelp, I was wrong.
When using current reddit UI, you need to log in to "verify you are over 18".
When using old.reddit.com you can proceed with a simple click on "Confirm over 18".
I also get a button along with those to continue in my browser (on mobile). I just tap to continue on Firefox, and it works (at least on any subs that are not NSFW).
