Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".

    I don’t visit Reddit out of principle. I don’t care that there are more discussions and more fun content and game dev updates and stuff there that I’m missing. I mourn the loss, but I will never go back and visit Reddit. Mustn’t give them traffic.

      I don’t blame you. I’m not quite at that point yet, but I’m not far off.

      If they kill or nerf Old Reddit I’ll probably be done.

        Understandable. It’s a big step to take.

        It’s liberating though. Like a recovering alcoholic able to say they are sober without relapsing. 😄
