Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".
Good idea, Reddit.
opens redreader
How does that work? I thought Reddit effectively banned third-party apps by forcing API usage fees?
Either way, I wouldn’t browse Reddit now even if they reneged on the API scandal. Bridge has been burned, and the political landscape there seems horrid nowadays.
I read somewhere (who knows where) Red Reader focuses on visual impaired accessibility features so Reddit Corp waives the api fees. I assume it’s cheaper for them than developing accessibility features into the official app.
Wow, interesting. I’m conflicted about how to feel about that.
Maybe like Boost for Reddit - it can be patched with Revanced and you can still use it
