Tell HN: Reddit now demands to know why you won't use their app

8•josephcsible•1h ago
When you try to dismiss Reddit's mobile web prompt asking you to switch to their app, instead of just going away, it now gets replaced with this poll:

> What is the primary reason you don't want to download the Reddit app?

> I want to save space on my device

> I don't use Reddit often enough

> I prefer the privacy of my web browser

> I want to avoid push notifications

> I already have the Reddit app

> I get what I need from the web browser

Lol. Lmao even. They know why, so why bother with a poll? Is someone trying to get justification for nerfing the browser experience more? I suspect the last item will be the most popular option. Who the hell thinks "I want to save space on my device".

[x] I do not install apps for anyone for any reason. I browse from Firefox on Linux on mini-PC's and laptops without exception.

Why won't they install my curl | bash cron job that runs as root on all their servers? I pinky-promise it's mostly harmless.

I get daily requests to answer polls.

Like my time is worth zero. Is theirs?

Delete.

Basically they just need one more option:

> You'll never get me to use the app so stop trying.

I mean for the sake of the completeness of their how-to-get-people-to-use-app research, not just the benefit of the user who doesn't want the app.

You will not convert 100% of people to the app, unless you shut down the website, or make it so unusable on mobile that it might as well be shut down.

Pain in the butt if you ask me. They are trying to make it really annoying to use the web based reddit lol.

Can you block it as an element in Brave browser or prevent scripts from running or anything?
