If Reddit charged even a small fee like $10 a year they'd have probably 1/10th of the visitors they do now. We can get upset about the dark patterns, but it's also true that social media customers are categorically not willing to pay for that kind of product. They have deliberately made it so that their existing users are allowed to use Reddit in the old way that they want to. I believe Reddit's leadership knows that a decent subset of their longer tenured audience values, but at the same time I wouldn't want to necessarily blame them for wanting to get new users on the app and using the newer website.įor everyone that thinks they're 'yet another Digg,' I don't think so. Always use Reddit Enhancement Suite on desktop, you're missing out if you don't. If you want to stay logged out, there are lots of Old Reddit redirect extensions. Yes, this is an official setting that's part of the user profile settings. For desktop, set your user settings to always visit. Pay real money for an ad-free app like Apollo. It's an indie app with a really great, responsive developer. It's unusable on mobile and always has been. Man firefox used to be the shit, now it's just shit ( Then I founds this ,but as with all good addons now, it's for desktop only. Then I thought, maybe a good solution would be some kind of browser add-on that could add '.old'. I seriously think it will be soon, but then also wonder if it's possibly keeping so many old users at least visiting the platform they don't want to shoot themselves in the foot.but then I remember the redesign decision and all logic goes out the window.Įdit- after posting this I thought maybe this person was right, maybe they visit so many subs it does get tedious, so I apologize. The problem will be when they get rid of the '.old'. I also left reddit years ago but need it for certain things like builds for small/niche games or less popular programming/computer subs. Just drag and over what you want to remove and add the '.old' Lolwut? just erase the ' and replace it with old.
