If you use reddit at all you’ve probably started to notice the slow erosion of the site by capitalism. Going public means chasing infinite profits as the only goal and recently they’ve gotten rather aggressive about site breaking pop ups demanding you login to look at a post or conversation. Unfortunately there’s a lot of niche subreddits there with good content still and no competitor has taken off yet but I would guess it’s coming soon as reddit goes down the path of Digg.
Anyway if you have ublock origin this removes all that crap, just add it as a custom filter
