This was honestly the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I used to check reddit every now and then, but after this I just couldn't justify it to myself to use it. I used to post a lot of stuff, and I modded a relatively small community, but it just feels wrong to use it.

My man, your camel has a strong back

I don't like change that much, so I can tolerate a lot of stuff before changing.

I've been using a third party app for Reddit since forever. Taking that away was, for me, equivalent to taking Reddit away as a whole. I had to change either way so then I'd rather change to a different platform than change to the crappy official app.
