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.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.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.Also, pushing people towards being always logged in is a hugh step towards more customized ads which in turn will increase monetization.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.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.Twitter, Facebook, and every other social media have gone through this journey. Why do you expect anything else?
