I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.

Yeah, there is 0 way that reddit reviews even 10% of of the content, probably even 5%, if even that. There's just no way. This is just a scare tactic to get you into their walled garden, to download their app, sign you up, and become a metric.

Yep, why would the subreddit be safer inside their own app xD

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

So people cant access "unrated" 18+ content they found on Google and then have people get mad that the content was NSFW or restricted.

Its essentially a "We dont know what your going to find here and dont want lawsuits" protection.

It'd be nice if Google unlisted links that bring you to "install our app or you get nothing" pages

It's what all the normies use. If they lose a major source of traffic over it, they might stop doing it.

google search is mostly shit without a private frontend like startpage (shut up bot, i know they're owned by an advertising company)

If you give them permissions. Speaking from Android. Don't know how iOS works.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 2 points 7 months ago

iOS is the same way. The user needs to grant access to photos.
