When Reddit started doing this it effectively broke my redditing habit. I know these things are annoying but for anyone who is trying to use social media less... Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram are almost unusable without their apps. They are basically useless if you dont sign in on the browser on your phone. It's great if you want to get off them.
There’s a strange irony in Redditors complaining about this when Reddit has been rolling out the same sporadic login requirements (on mobile web) to view certain Reddit content. I suppose these angry Reddit commenters bashing Twitter aren’t seeing it because they’re logged in to Reddit. Just as with Reddit, there are workarounds to bypass this login requirement if you really want to. The users in that thread have som…

I'm using old.reddit.com, and it's ok. Shame if they would turn that off though.
Nitter.net for Twitter.

The day they turn off old.reddit.com reddit is dead to me. I've been on reddit 10 years and it was hard to understand why they chose this new disastrous design.

It's not just the design, it's the fact that it's buggy and frequently unresponsive. If it was well done I might be able to forgive them, but my phone tells me I have messages I can't see on the desktop even after I refresh the page.

Give teddit.net a look. Nitter.net for Twitter. I don’t know how long these sites will last with the demand there is for avenues that don’t prompt login.
