Oh definitely. Killing third party apps means everyone using Reddit gets served ads now, so they're going hard on that.

They though, "hey, we don't make money off these users anyways" and disconnected us. Not realizing many of us were mods, content creators, and active users. You know, the reason people go to Reddit.

I'm more than happy here and learning Mastodon.

They knew. They did some back-of-the-envelope math and concluded that they'd be fine. The IPO is the only thing that matters to them. They'll burn the site down getting there and then fuck off with their big payday.

You can patch a few third party Reddit apps with revanced. If that tickles your pickle.

It won't matter soon. The apps are now abandonware.

The way Reddit is going it won't matter I'm just using it to ween myself off spez's teet.
