I was using i.reddit.com during this period. The default mobile website was completely unusable.

Of course, they recently removed i.reddit.com, similar to the third party apps. They achieved the desired user growth and are now transitioning into the aggressive monetization phase.

Good luck making money off of me while I’m using Lemmy instead of Reddit.

I commend the shutdown but if things get out of hand reddit admins will take over the popular subs. They won’t let a prime sub get shut down by mods.
