Following changes to its API access, users are forced to log in on the official Reddit app if they want to view NSFW content on mobile.

    This is the true final blow to third party apps.

    I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

      They even do the same thing with SFW posts, they just say it’s “unreviewed content” or whatever.

        Or use old.reddit.com too.

        Interesting calculus here. Before the r/pocalyspe I’d have said old-reddit was on a 3 month clock to being summarily retired

        They also likely lost way more users than they anticipated through the blackouts, and might just let old-reddit be to protect their numbers until the IPO. As long as its not on default Main page, I doubt the advertisers will care. They’ll kill it when they can do so quickly and quietly
