Push notifications should be a privilege, not a right.

    If something’s going to try to grab my attention, it had better be worth my while. I block as many notifications as I can, both on my phone and my computer. I also try to avoid using apps for things unless I have to.

      But don’t you want to open this website in our app so that we can better track you?

      God I hate reddits mobile website, especially when you try to view an nsfw post

        Swap the “www” in the url for “old”. Desktop site but it doesn’t stop you viewing NSFW content.

          Just abandon the site altogether. They do have good content but they’re user hostile.

          I know. That’s what I always do but navigating a desktop site on mobile is horrible :(
