That's why no one with half a brain downloads the official Reddit app.

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.

The worst part to me is the people still on Reddit complaining about the blackout because "you can scroll past the ads", which completely misses the point

Ive seen a post in programming dev instance that those posts we were seeign, shilling for reddit was proven to be astroturfed using LLM to generate the pro reddit reply

And all it did was make Reddit even worse. If that was spez’s best attempt at user retention, then no wonder the Reddit experience keeps going down the drain.
