Did Reddit just destroy mobile browser access?
I think that trying to see the the decision from the point view of Reddit is the very first step towards a meaningful discussion about the issue.<p>Reddit is trying to monetize the platform and it is very healthy thing for them and for the users. Pushing users to the mobile app is very reasonable if not a must.<p>Apps have better engagement. Push notifications, quick access to the platform, having a foot in the door on the user apps home screen are very clear pros.<p>Also, pushing people towards being always logged in is a hugh step towards more customized ads which in turn will increase monetization.<p>Yes thier app maybe lacking but I think they will try to make it best the viewing experience for Reddit. Deprecating the mobile web client gradually only makes sense.<p>I am not hinting that they are angles but no amount of complaining will ever change the situation without finding a better model that addresses these points.<p>Twitter, Facebook, and every other social media have gone through this journey. Why do you expect anything else?
