Reddit does this, too. It is used to measure sharing something as some sort of analytic/goal on your account for engagement. I tend to just screenshot them now after the annoying middle menu started popping up for me.

I really am not a fan of apps wanting me to engage more with the app when I'm trying to engage with real-life people.



Reddit also has that annoying pop-up when you screenshot something. “Sending this post to someone? It looks better when you share it.”

Perhaps they mean it looks better for Reddit’s smarmy user engagement metrics.


They wanted to hire me at one point for their iOS app. I declined; I didn't want any part of that. What a mess.


There's an option in settings where you can disable the Reddit frame the put around shared images


I hate this industry so much.
