The Reddit mobile website might be the worst. Every aspect of it is geared to making it as annoying as possible to use so that you are forced to download their app (or go find a better 3rd party one).
old.reddit.com still works, and the day they disable it is the last day I am a Reddit user (which I have been since the YC days, as an original disaffected digg user)
Not for me, it repeats the same top ~20 posts over and over when I use i.reddit.com
And it's functional like a WAP site in 2001 was functional. It's incredibly barebones to the point of being useless. I reckon Reddit forgot it exists at all.
wait till they IPO. They will need to show growth and will erode away old reddit features, with more nags and modals to switch to the “new experience” — so they can boost ad revenue
The push to open web links in a mobile app has already become a PITA
they already do it in other ways like having certain features unsupported on the old reddit app. old reddit also shows a cookie modal that if you click it takes you to new reddit because it doesn't exist on old reddit
