I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.

MODERATORS
Don't think of it as them being unprofessional, think of it as them having a safety valve to relieve the pressure of some people wanting to leave Reddit for Lemmy or elsewhere, because of their bs.
Someday, when they're confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.
I have 0 doubt that they eventually shut old.reddit down, or they make it so unusable that it doesn't make a difference anymore if they did. Probably with some extensive regretful apology letter about how hard it became for the team to maintain, something about the future of Reddit moving forward and blah blah blah...
That's prolly next on chopping block.
They recently blocked logins via old.reddit

Are they just trying to divert as much traffic as possible through their app?
Yeah, there is 0 way that reddit reviews even 10% of of the content, probably even 5%, if even that. There's just no way. This is just a scare tactic to get you into their walled garden, to download their app, sign you up, and become a metric.

They’ve had this for a while. The cheat code is to change the url to old reddit.
Or just “request desktop website”.
Old.reddit.com
It will get rid of that
I am not going to like the day they remove that.
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib There's some redirect browser addons like LibRedirect that can automatically redirect you to redlib instances.
