Nope ? 
OMG I need the community dev fam!
Either it needs some time to process, either this badge isnāt as simple. 
Badge granting is often delayed. I think he runs a job like once a day for certain types of badges. Needing to have read a centi-thread is probably one of those types of badges.

Oh I see.
Anyway I can stop spreading BS on that topic haha. 
Related: I was just granted the badge so I assume it will not take you long to get it as well. Just make sure you have read the whole thread (at least scrolled through).

Yes I saw you got it but still nothing on my side.
I wonder how this reading part is determined.
I assumed it may be by scrolling top to bottom.
Then I though it could be because of precisely reaching each answer.
When you scroll to a number on the bar on the right, it also changes the URL in the address bar in the browser.
So I went ballistic and I did that in dev console.
Sometimes I got messages telling Iām a bad peanut and I should slowdown a bit

Maybe do the exact same loop, but use a 10s sleep so that it seems like you spent 10s reading each of the replies?
function sleep(s) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, s*1000));
}
for (i = 0; i < 101; i++) {
window.open(
"https://forum.codewithmosh.com/t/is-anyone-else-interested-in-earning-the-reader-badge/12911/"+i,
"_blank");
await sleep(10);
}
Something like that.

I did such thing yesterday and no badge.
I believe the badge system does not like me.
I think out of anger and frustrationā¦ I will open my IDE and furiously code something. 
I just paid attention to this:
Does it means you actually need to leave the page open for long enough?
Or would it be more complex than that?
Is reading time tracked somehow?
I also just paid attention to the summarize topic button.

OK I noticed that also but still nothing.
EDIT: At this point I did try 4 different browsers and gone through the topic from top to bottom on each making sure the URL updates in the bar and I go through every single value.
On the one hand I am intrigued and curious to know how this badge and reading of posts is evaluated.
On the other hand only the devs behind that knows and I will stop trying as I have other stuff to do. Maybe later.
@codewithmosh or @Mosh - is there anything special required to āreadā a post in order to actually get the Reader badge? It looks like it was only granted to me even though UniqueNospaceShort has also tried reading the whole thread multiple times.

Congratulation guys!! We did it

Thanks for asking. I just checked and for now 4 people got it.
Note I also did disable ad blockers for this is a possible cause of the thing not functioning.
Should we get details, I would give it a try.
Did you use mobile device or PC browsers as I did ?
Did try Opera, Chrome, Edge and Firefox on my side on Win10.
I will quickly try on mobile.
Now another assumption is that my scripted attempt possibly prevents me to get it. If so, can it be sorted?

For me, I was on Chrome using my Android phone. No ad blockers, etc other than whatever is built-in to Chrome. Hope it works out!

Chrome with ad blocker on MacOs, didnāt try anything else!
I just connected and I got it.
I used the site on mobile, went through the topic and left the page open at least as long as the estimated reading time. I did not notice the badge at that time so maybe someone did the change manually somehow. Thanks.
EDIT: According to the badge page I got it 17 hours ago which is a bit after midnight as it is 17:34 here in France.
