      Same with tiktok. they used to let you watch videos without the app, now they won’t let you unmute the video. one of my frineds keeps trying to send me tiktoks and i’m like, this is worthless.

        No, it works. You just slide a puzzle piece over, then it reloads. Then it plays muted, you have to unmute it and then it’s half-way through so you have to restart the video. There see, easy! And by the time you get to watch it in a tiny ass screen you have already seen it muted about 3-5 times give or take.

    Threads is view-only without the app, so no using it on PC. Probably because they wouldn’t be able to get as much data. I would never use it anyway but it’s so stupid.

      You can at least view threads without logging in? That’s better than instagram usually forces login. Still won’t use it.

        And instagram is still a lot better than Twitter which just redirects you to nothing at all. Now I just wish news sites would stop linking to twitter because I can’t look at any of the garbage that’s been posted.

    I’m so sick and tired of every single website and service trying to push an app on me. No, I don’t want to download your stupid shitty app, I’ve got dozens and I don’t want another one that I don’t use that interrupts me to push stupid notifications. Now get off my lawn!

    This is the meme that made me create an account here. Barely using reddit now, but I noticed these last days they were pushing lukewarm content to the top. And a lot of content on phone web browsers was/is locked, could only read the first 2 or 3 answers.
