They want you to use their app.&lt;p&gt;Use &amp;quot;old.reddit.com&amp;quot; (old style, best on desktop but ok on mobile) or &amp;quot;i.reddit.com&amp;quot; (minimalist, for mobile) if you want something usable.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s self-fulfulling really isn&amp;#x27;t it, may as well simply read &amp;#x27;this banner not present in the app&amp;#x27;.&lt;p&gt;A bit like those joke signs warning you not to steal&amp;#x2F;deface the sign.</text></comment>
