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.

      So people cant access “unrated” 18+ content they found on Google and then have people get mad that the content was NSFW or restricted.

      Its essentially a “We dont know what your going to find here and dont want lawsuits” protection.

        It’d be nice if Google unlisted links that bring you to “install our app or you get nothing” pages

            It’s what all the normies use. If they lose a major source of traffic over it, they might stop doing it.
