This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

    If you install the duckduckgo browser and turn on app tracking protection, you’ll see just how much data is harvested from mobile apps, which is genuinely scary.

    This is why these sites are pushing the mobile app. It’s much harder to prevent trackers through an app than it is through a web browser.

      I just installed this and am trying the app tracking protection (it’s in beta, for those reading who haven’t used it). Shockingly, Candy Crush Soda doesn’t come up with a list of junk being tracked. whew or something

      Here’s a screenshot from Discord:

    I’m sure this has been said, but they did that for a while at least on my end. Mostly big front page content was blocked in my experience

    Reddit on mobile browser is actual dogwater. Tho most social media apps are extremely hostile towards non-App users.

    It’s interesting because they justify it by saying it’s for compliance (eg, because logged out users haven’t answered affirmatively that they’re over 18). Gives them cover when we all know the real reason they’re locking it down
