#4Sadly, the reddit website has become a travesty - especially on mobile. A huge "DOWNLOAD THE REDDIT APP" banner obscures literally 30% of the page. There is a teeny-tiny "view on mobille site" link in small, low-contrast text that can be used to dismiss the annoying banner. Due to its size and user-hostile design, the Reddit banner is even worse than most news sites that try to push their newsletter/app/subscription with similarly annoying banners.

They have also periodically been A/B testing a popup with only two options, login or get mobile app, when clicking on a topic -- as far as I could tell it was not possible to just pass to the comment thread. Luckily that seems to have been phased out.

I think that's now removed no? Or at least, I haven't noticed it for a while.
I got hit with the Google hammer regarding a similar banner, where they threatened to stop indexing the site completely, so I assume they had a similar message. Or maybe they're large enough to be exempt. I don't know.

For logged-in users, the banner goes away (I think after the first time you click to stay on the mobile site).

Hit https://old.reddit.com
Unfortunately intra-reddit links cause all the usual problems.
But yes, mobile behaviour is rage-inducing.

On Android, use the "Reddit if fun" application - classic Reddit, fit for mobile: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu....

I'm always logged in, but it often asks me to consider using the app. I detest it. Why are they pushing it so hard?
