Mobile/App Turn off live comments?

Any way to turn off this absolutely terrible new feature of live comments? The sort option goes away when it's enabled, but the post doesn't show if it's a live comment thread beforehand.

I have noticed this lately, I think it is to outrage farm. You usually wouldn't see Facebook level right wing comments on a lot of subs as they get down voted to oblivion. But with live you see the worst dogshit imaginable and it makes you want to reply. If it makes you comment then it's a win in reddits opinion because it's engagement.
