  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

      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

      Can apps access your photos?

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

    But why?

    Do they somehow get more personal data that way?

    I thought closing access to the API was for my own protection!

  Yep, if you request the desktop version you don’t get that redirect.
