    Did I miss something? Or just a joke about the future of reddit because obviously they will go for it at some point.

      When I go to a subreddit a popup appears over similar to those news sites asking me to either login or open in app. So it’s kinda the present

        That’s for NSFW communities. Since the protests, quite a lot of communities are still marked as NSFW, even if they’re not, in reality.

          If you’re on mobile it will happen when you just search a question on google, no matter the subreddit

            Firstly, why are you using Google? Secondly, you must be doing something else wrong because I have never seen that outside of NSFW stuff. The only time I go to reddit is on mobile via the browser when I’m searching for something, and I’m not logged into an account.

              That’s great that it doesn’t happen for you. For me, any time I end up on Reddit in a browser on iPhone, it gives the obnoxious “open in app or continue in browser” popup.

              I use private mode in safari though, maybe it’s not saving a cookie or something.

          So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?

          Why am I not surprised.

        I also get a button along with those to continue in my browser (on mobile). I just tap to continue on Firefox, and it works (at least on any subs that are not NSFW).
