I use RSS to fetch reddit posts for subs that are not active in Lemmy.
Sometimes I need to read the comments so I’d view the post from safari. Today, I tried like 3 post and when click on view post, it would redirect me to the App Store.
When I decided to screenshot the page to make this post, it did show the post but would refuse like 1 out of 5 times.
That’s some really "spez"ial thinking process right here.
… seriously … any site that greets me with pop-ups like “we noticed you’re using an adblocker” and stupid captchas and the like gets closed immediatly, and if I need to subscribe / join just to read what some rando on the internet wrote 6 years ago then I’m just going to look for that info elsewhere. Does spez really think that reddit is so incredible and awesome that people would WANT to log in / create an account when confronted with this bullsh*t?
I would nope out too.
I believe he wanted reddit to get traffic through the app to collect data and avoid ad blockers.
