为什么 Reddit 阻止我访问其移动网站

Reddit 正在测试强制用户转向移动应用程序,以提升用户体验。

该公司表示,此次测试针对那些使用 Reddit 服务但通常不登录的用户。

此举引发用户负面反应,部分用户认为 Reddit 故意破坏了移动网站,并在 Reddit 论坛上表达不满。

Reddit 的做法旨在鼓励用户使用应用程序,但用户对此表示抵触,并可能考虑放弃使用该平台。

The company confirmed to me that it is moving in a direction that other platforms have taken: converting users to the app. Reddit says that the test aims to find out if people like me—those who use the service but aren’t generally logged in—get a better experience with the app.

I often prefer the open web and don’t really want one more app cluttering up my phone. And while I’m open to learning about the “much better” experience in the app, hardball blocking tactics seem an odd way to educate users about something supposedly in their own interests. (After clearing cookies in my browser, I was able to access the mobile website again. It sounds like you can alternately log in to Reddit, though the overlay says nothing about this; I cleared cookies before I could try it.)

User reaction to the move seems somewhat negative. Futurism ran an angry article last week saying that Reddit “Intentionally Breaks Its Mobile Website.” And redditors have posted numerous complaints in places like r/bugs, r/help, and (naturally) r/enshittification. (Representative sample comment: “Reddit is a Website; why is it forcing me to the app?”)
