Honestly the site is way too performant to be realistic. All those buttons worked nearly instantly. I'm assuming you're missing the awaited tracking networking calls.
I am not seeing any autoplaying videos unrelated to the article that pop into a PIP window in the bottom of the screen as you scroll causing the amount that you've scrolled to jump so you lose your place

I really hate that about Reddit. I liked browsing discussions on my phone occasionally but the web page kept nagging me into using the app instead. So finally I installed it. But now when googling for information and finding Reddit boards about my topic of interest clicking on „use app“ does not open Reddit app but instead directs me to the stupid App store. Useless!

An admirable attempt. But nowhere near sufficient. - Not NEARLY enough link-litter (social links). - No Taboola Chumbox. SAD! PATHETIC!!! - Needs a CTA interruption about 15--30s after landing on the payload page. - Needs a useless hero image. - Needs more interstitial nags within the article itself. In bold and annoying context. - Needs more social links after the byline. Yes, today's web is an utter and complete cl…
