And already now they force you to log in to an account to view NSFW content, unless you go to old.reddit.com.

They stopped that recently i noticed. you get prompted to confirm youre over 18 without logging in required. They also got rid of that annoying "Continue this thread" linking and let you expand replies with a plus/minus icon without going to another page. It also seems like they fixed the way images are resized/shown in a post, because since the redesign i noticed you had to click 2 or 3 separate times to actually ge…

I hate when I’m hovering my thumb on a comment for a millisecond when scrolling the comments sections and accidentally collapsing a thread I’m reading, how can they not test their app with users to catch these simple usability issues?

Seriously. Makes Me feel like my scroll behavior is weird or something. Or like an idiot because I didn’t know a word and wanted to define it by tapping “Look up.” sigh

Yeah try to look up a word and collapse comment thread every. single. time.

This is what you get without a competent UX team unfortunately

This is one of the only reasons I use a chromium android build with desktop extensions enabled so I can have the old reddit redirect extension.

Could you please share any resources on this chromium android build with desktop extensions enabled? I've been looking for something similar. Thanks!

It is not unsolvable. People with the money, time, and luxury just are not capable of solving it, as they exist in ivory towers far away from real problems, and can not fathom investing in people outside their circles with solutions.

So what you are saying is it is easily solvable as long as you have an infinite source of free money.

That is not what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying the solution to many "unsolvable" problems might just be in the brain of an unknown person operating within the drudges of wage slavery, like a Subway worker for example [1].

There are countless unqualified people wielding an "infinite source of free money" already. Why should they, while others are left to rot? Why are we all okay with their autonomy to use "free money", players winning in a made up game they created, while others are crushed by the weight of survival?

Most people don't need infinite money. They just need enough to survive and be happy, while also have a direct stake in the fruits of their labor instead of having to turn over all their fruits to people who have free money. An exchange of survival for someone's life work is not an exchange worthy of even considering.

This suppresses innovative solutions across the board. It saps away the energy and motivation people have to contribute their solutions. It is an underlying mechanism to a modern dark age.

In fact you can make the page to send you the damn image, and it supposed to be, if you use some extension to modify your user agent and lies to imgur your are using curl something.

Do you know of such an extension? Tumblr and a few other sites do this too and I've been looking for a client side solution for years now
