Just request desktop site from your mobile browser 3-dot menu

Edit: also use old.reddit to fight the redirect

Doesnt work on my phone. It knows it's a phone and pushes the mobile ap even on old.reddit and even with desktop mode.

You may need to switch to a different browser then. I was just able to open it in Firefox with request desktop site turned on. Some mobile browsers still send mobile identification even when requesting the desktop site.

Now I feel dirty for having opened their site and proving their intent to boost traffic with yet another place event true...

I'm using firefox on my phone and it still does it. I've also tried other browsers. They all do it. Normally you get about 3-5 min before the popup arrives and then you have to clear your cache to get another 5 min.

Well that's your sign to get the fuck off reddit and quit giving pig boy Huffman the traffic he wants.
