Comment on Ask HN: Have you noticed difficulty tapping links on HN on iOS lately?

Comments

I haven’t had this issue in chrome or iOS but macOS safari I have had this issue with what I believe are JavaScript heavy sites like Facebook and Reddit’s new design. As soon as I log into Reddit, the problem disappears because I have settings set to use the old layout.

Reddit’s new website is a giant troll experiment to see how humans respond to arbitrary amounts of extra latency wrapped around every single operation.

Replacing the www with old seems to help me.

Reddit does that to me on iOS pretty frequently, though they try to push the app so hard for ad revenue I don’t think they care much about improving the experience otherwise.
