He's on vacation, subego. He got too stressed out by all of the voter fraud that he wanted a few days for himself.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Or maybe he masterminded it and hasn't finished walking home yet.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Trump originally suggested he was the size of a “burnt 12 oz. filet with ketchup”, but that wouldn’t fit on the sign (sad), so he went with “big ham burger” instead.

Between that and putting ads between posts and comments (was that new this week?), I'm about ready to ditch Reddit on my phone.

I turned notifications off to see what happens.
The ads as a first comment just started. It really annoys me, but I’m getting used to it.
I actually bailed on Reddit about a month before the election for becoming just an insufferable circlejerk, but r/chicago is pretty much my only source for local news, so I came crawling back.

I unsub'd r/politics and most of the national/world news subreddits a long time ago. But with how poorly Iowa is handling covid, r/Iowa and r/DesMoines is pretty much 100% people going hard on the governor and senators.

I just remembered AnnArchist is the top mod for r/iowa.
From the outside looking in, I have to be honest and say I find that hilarious.

Yeah some big drama went down a couple weeks ago, one of the only other active mods quit after AnnArchist kept unbanning trolls.

He’s the top mod of (the now private) r/drama, where as a gag once he started turning randos into mods. The rest of the mods tried to mutiny, and so Ann demodded everyone. Every. One.
Reddit admin ended up involved and restored everybody, but the lead mutineer never got any permissions back (until they were let in at the bottom under a new account).
Good times.

Reddit has been a letdown in recent years. Mobile site/app are dumpster fires.

I actually think the mobile app is pretty decent, at least on my phone. On my iPad I use the desktop website, though I stopped using my iPad for Reddit once r/drama went private.
What’s your beef?

I generally like the Reddit app, but the experience isn’t quite as frictionless as the website is. For what it does, the Reddit site really is pretty direct and keeps out of its own way. Unlike, say, Facebook, who took the horrible user experience of the website, and somehow made it even worse in the app.

New version of the Reddit app has “live updating” vote and comment numbers. Christ... make it stop.
(Reducing reward animation switch seems to do the trick)

My beef with app/mobile site:
- No flair support
- PMs very hard to send
- Constant nags to use chat, get gold, etc.

Well, it supports text flair at least.
They definitely need to stop trying to make chat happen. Chat’s not going to happen.

I foresee Reddit chat becoming nothing but a steady stream of spam for OnlyFans channels.

I forget what site I was on yesterday, but I went to read something, and the layout was paragraph-ad-paragraph-ad-paragraph-ad-paragraph... Effing maddening.

Better than the 1 paragraph/photo per page, load page with ads Buzzfeed model.

I already had that option turned on and started to get those animations. Lately my front page after a refresh seems to be:
- Post
- Ad
- Check out these communities
- Check out this related content
- Ad
- 2nd post

Here's my latest pet peeve. They messed with videos. It used to be that I could tap a video and the scrubber would pop up so I could rewind and watch it from the beginning. Now when you tap a video it opens the video in a pop up with a billion pieces of flair all around the video but still no scrubber. So then I have to back out of that pop up and click the comment count to go to the comment page and finally start the video from the beginning. It's the worst.

Oh no. Oh no. Now when you click the comments button, it does not bring up comments, it just brings up that stupid video page. It may be only for gifs where linked videos still act normally. This is bad.

I've been using the app Apollo as a Reddit client. Been pretty happy with it.

I use the Reddit app on my iPad, and I've never seen any of these issues. The only continual problem I run into is that there's no audio in videos when viewed in the app.

Ahh! Gotcha!
I assumed it was registering further dismay with the Reddit app.

Is there supposed to be a video that plays? On desktop, all I see is a black player with a continuous "loading" animation.

I feel lucky I can’t get this to happen. Maybe the app team is A/B-ing it?
It’s possible it’s just the way I use it.

Someone else in that thread mentioned they weren't getting it, so maybe A/B. I'm already on Apollo now so I won't notice if it goes away.

I’ve ultimately had really good luck with the native app.
I should disclose Reddit “paid me off”. I used to use Alien Blue, which Reddit bought and turned into the native app. They gave all Alien Blue users 4 years of gold.

Well, that answers my question of whether being a former Alien Blue user got me into the B group.
Even though the free gold has expired, since having ads is way less of an annoyance than I thought it’d be, I still have goodwill built up towards the Reddit app.

Have you tried toggling your hardware ringer mute switch? My phone is always on silent, but I've found that switching the ringer on can sometimes allow sounds from certain apps/sources.
