Old reddit still works, but trends don’t look good.

Sadly the death is near.

    Turn on “request desktop site” and that goes away. It’s strictly for mobile users to force more data mining.

    That said. Just stop using that fucking shithole, please

      Some of the valuable discussions are present there in old threads,

      I ended up there from purely organic search results.

        Absolutely. Often there are no fucking useful search results on Google at all besides Reddit threads…

        I still pop onto Reddit for the same reasons. There’s no point in limiting your ability to work and learn by avoiding Reddit links altogether. Especially if you’re trying to make the internet a better place here, knowledge is helpful

        As for the mobile Reddit popups, I added a few ublock origin filters that seem to be helping. See this other post

        Reddit has always been one of the most useful sources of information for a very long time. Hell the only sources I could get information for troubleshooting the PC upgrades I’m going through are from Reddit.

        And that’s basically all Reddit is for me now, the end result of a Google search looking for specific information.
