I know its easier than ever to dunk on how terrible reddit has gotten, but honestly? What is this? How is is safer to deliver this content to kids viewing reddit on a tablet or PC or in the app? Why even create the bs excuse?
They could just have easily told the truth an displayed a message like “Content is limited. Open in the app to view.” It’s still a jerk move, but at a minimum its honest.
The mildly infuriating thing is we still go there on occasion
Or get links by that one stubborn friend who refuses to leave and thinks creating an account on Lemmy is too much hassle despite having one for every popular site to ever exist.
Friend? What’s that?
Only because its like the top 8 google results for mostly everything i search!
Isn’t it wonderful that google SEO algorithm updates essentially killed off independent forums and blogs? Half of my search results are Reddit and completely irrelevant AI spam.
That’s what you get when Instead of Google getting better at indexing sites, the sites got better at being indexed
