Reddit Mobile Website Block Sparks Backlash as App Download Prompt Freezes Browsing
Reddit is blocking some mobile web users from browsing unless they download its app, testing the prompt with frequent visitors. The move follows a 69% jump in first-quarter revenue to $663 million and a 17% rise in daily active uniques. Users report workarounds, but the prompt freezes scrolling and menus for many. Reddit did not say if the test will expand.
