Turn on "request desktop site" and that goes away. It's strictly for mobile users to force more data mining.
That said. Just stop using that fucking shithole, please
Some of the valuable discussions are present there in old threads,
I ended up there from purely organic search results.
I still pop onto Reddit for the same reasons. There's no point in limiting your ability to work and learn by avoiding Reddit links altogether. Especially if you're trying to make the internet a better place here, knowledge is helpful
As for the mobile Reddit popups, I added a few ublock origin filters that seem to be helping. See this other post

I still use reddit for troubleshooting tech stuff and this is super helpful. That popup is so annoying, thanks.
or you can use https://rdx.overdevs.com/
You can also use tampermonky on Firefox mobile to bypass it.
Absolutely. Often there are no fucking useful search results on Google at all besides Reddit threads…
Reddit has always been one of the most useful sources of information for a very long time. Hell the only sources I could get information for troubleshooting the PC upgrades I'm going through are from Reddit.
And that's basically all Reddit is for me now, the end result of a Google search looking for specific information.
If you use Kagi you can block the entire site and let better results float up.
Create another bastion of knowledge and people will.
Spez won, we lost, learn to accept the things you cannot change
He said, on a rapidly growing reddit alternative.
He already cashed out. he won
Are you on Lemmy for money? I have bad news for you...
I doubt that there is much money in a social media started by communists.
He destroyed your head, after that the only goal could possibly be to keep him from making money from doing so.
Like it or not he won.
It’s like 9/11, by every measurable objective the terrorists won.
It sucks to admit but why lie
We also won, for we have gained a new profit-free open source platform that's currently growing to become the reddit we always wanted.

Great, even works on mobile
If you're using Ublock Origin, you can use their "element zapper" to get rid of it. Also, it took me a minute to figure out, to exit "element zapper" mode on a phone, swipe right twice

Yeah it works for now.
Did you even read the post? He mentioned that.
You can also just hit the view desktop site button in settings, at least on Firefox.
If you really want to use Reddit, download an old copy of a third-party app (Boost still works) and patch it with ReVanced.
This does not work on iOS due to platform limitations
Sync works too! This is what I do. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time before reddit/imgur/some other site changes something and the app breaks, but for now the old reddit apps still seem to all be working okay.
Give redlib a go. It's a fork of Libreddit that doesn't get ratelimited.

Use old.reddit
(.com)
Sadly the death is nowhere near. 95% of people will just download the app, which is why these types of walls work.
Somtimes reddit with blur your screen when you go into a subreddit
I still use Boost, when I need something from Reddit. The only workaround I needed was to make a private subreddit.
use old.reddit.com
