Way better than what reddit founders got to sell out to Conde naste. Which is hilarious considering when it came out we were all stoked about reddit and imgur being open source and ad free.
imgur was never open source unless I am missing something.
A very early version of Reddit was open source, in the sense, the source code was periodically released minus some secret sauce, they kept to themselves. Last time I checked they stopped releasing source, it was such a long time ago that the current version doesn't even remote resemble their open source version, which is, AFAIK, as good as dead.
I'm guessing you haven't had the new site rolled out to you yet? Maybe it's just me but on the mobile version of the new site, of the top four posts one to three(!) are ads on every page. Oh, and only two posts are visible by default. I much preferred the unobtrusiveness of their ads previously.
I find myself wishing the new ads were more intrusive! What we have taught them is that we are "okay" with ads as long as they're unintrusive. But what Reddit has understood is that if they can blend in the ads seamlessly that the ads are acceptable. But the ads are actually worse. -- And thank goodness for that. I waste far too much time there and nothing breaks me from the spell like loading the new theme.
i can no longer login with the new page, because they've introduced a client-side password check that fails for my legacy account.
right now, i'm still able to authenticate at old.reddit.com... but once they've deprecated that as well, i'll no longer be able to authenticate unless i change my password in this grace period. not doing that though
I stopped using it when they effectively prevented browsing from phones. I'm to lazy to switch to desktop view. I don't want to install their crap app on my primary device.
