Good lord, they'll do anything to push their app eh?

This shit would drive me nuts. My friends and I would send each other links we found on Reddit through messenger or text and when I would get one, it would take me to a blurred view of the page and tell me to view it on their app. I would back right out, go on RedditIsFun, and search the title of the post there. To stop this from happening to people I sent to, I'd just take a screenshot of the meme and send it in a group chat and say I saw it on r/whatever. If you force me to use your broken shit, I'll send that meme in a fax out of spite if I have to.

Just got to wait for a Reddit Vanced app then...

FYI ReVanced already supports Reddit but I don't think they deserve any web traffic no matter how
