So #reddit seems to have decided today that the way to profit is to take away its nice "compact" mobile presentation and, instead, ceaselessly nag web users to switch to the app instead. The site has pretty much become unusable on mobile overnight.

The "request desktop site" option (*in the reddit settings*, not the browser equivalent) makes things a bit more tolerable.

My day to grumble, I guess.

@corbet "old" reddit mode in a browser on mobile fan reporting in! Never liked the "new" reddit layout, nor the constant nagging to use it.

@jmorris @corbet this is why we need web3 -- the enshittification is baked into web3 apps from the get-go.
