Forced to use mobile app to see /r/place

Don’t give them any traffic, just watch a stream of place on twitch

It's funny how strong the magnetic force of watching this unfold in real time is. Not as strong as the first time, but this time around it has the added fascination of watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion. Somehow it makes it more captivating than the second round was.
Still, I'd argue the better advice would be to rather find something else to do than to watch paint dry in real time on r/place, giving Reddit traffic or not.
Have any recommendations? Lots of random channels and non-English

Just request desktop site from your mobile browser 3-dot menu

Edit: also use old.reddit to fight the redirect

Desktop
- God damnit, I am retarded. I was repeatedly clicking on the image.
  "Not now"
- Request desktop then use old.reddit as well
Doesnt work on my phone. It knows it's a phone and pushes the mobile ap even on old.reddit and even with desktop mode.
- You may need to switch to a different browser then. I was just able to open it in Firefox with request desktop site turned on. Some mobile browsers still send mobile identification even when requesting the desktop site.
  Now I feel dirty for having opened their site and proving their intent to boost traffic with yet another place event true...

I loathe being pushed to an app just because I'm on a mobile device. It's a huge red flag to me.

of course the losers on the osu sub have already organized a 1000 person discord call to camp their one logo. They really don't care about the pathetic reddit abuse

I can understand why a lot of people would want to just move on but Reddit lost me entirely when spez accused the creator of Apollo of trying to blackmail him.
It was proven false then spez doubled-down on the lie. That, in my opinion, is much worse than the API changes because 1 is a company’s choice, no matter how bad, and the other may as well be a crime.
That massive red flag should be impossible to ignore.
- It was a crime. Defamation. Though I don't know how that plays out internationally, spez definitely committed a (very difficult to prove) crime.

Lmao, they have to be desperate 😂

I hate Reddit like everyone else, but to be fair it's always been that way.

Yeah, it never worked on 3rd parties either. It's nothing new.
- I have some experience working as a webdev and I don't exactly understand why "non-desktop-browsers" would "not work" when desktop-browsers work. That isn't the case unless you specifically and intentionally make it that way.

It's obviously a trap.

Using firefox on android and going to the "new" site works perfectly. with ublock I don't even see any ads.

Use the desktop mode of the mobile browser. Works in Firefox for Android at least.

Same thing last time.

Cruel joke.
