I don’t have a Reddit account. Was searching for something related to astrophotography, clicked a link to go to Reddit, not only did I not go to the subreddit post as it dropped me to whatever the fuck the front page is, but it was pretty adamant that I use the app cuz fuck you for using a website I guess.

I browse maybe once a week for a few minutes, but I will never be going back now so thanks to whatever bean counter or engagement coordinator got me to finally quit going.

      I ended up using that. It worked perfectly fine. I kept it open on my phone for several minutes and I didn’t get that pop up so maybe that will be left alone. I wonder how long it continues to be left alone.

      It’s like I told someone else I’m not all that bothered by it so maybe I’m not the targeted market or something, buts it comes across as a pretty big middle finger to its roots of existing as a webpage about webpages more or less. I’ve talked more about Reddit than I really intended to at this point lol
