Not a reddit user, can someone explain old reddit? I thought it was just the same content with the older (original?) style
I think old Reddit was the older style, but also less scripts/tracking running on the pages.
idk if a script blocker would work on the nag. On my desktop I was trying to view something and used ublock origin element picker to block the nag and allow me to view the site, but I can't seem to get it to work properly on mobile (even on desktop mode) it seems to be disabling ublock from working.
i tried to block it on mobile, but reddit seems to be able to use other forms to block you. like hiding the comments behind a login wall. how long will the apps that reads reddit will be affected?
No idea, but I'm guessing a script blocker will update or release an option to block them when it's obvious to then what way it's being blocked. An app could just easily implement it I guess, if they wanted. Login wall could be unblocked by unlock initially, but it seems to be more difficult on mobile.
yea i tried the element picker/zap on ublock, reddit just hides the comments. i had to use old reddit redirect extension so i wouldnt get the annoying popups, but its matter of time before old reddit goes.
I have managed to block them on desktop Librewolf/Firefox using element blocker. So I think (hope) I can export my custom blocks and import them to Fennec/Firefox on phone.
old reddit currently seems unaffected by the nagging, im guessing reddit/spez doesnt want to scare away the people using it yet.
That, and it was also the interface not effected by the regular nag screens reddit put up on mobile browsers to get you to use their app, so to sum up a general enshitification workaround.
