Official Reddit app now doesn't even make it into the Austrian "Top 200 for 0€ Social" Google Play Store category anymore...

Zyratoxx@lemm.ee to Reddit@lemmy.world – 647 points –

It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended... "Infinity" is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200...

To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype...

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload...

Maybe it's to clarify that you still pay for those apps, but not with money.

And even with the apps, you're still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can't be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

So ads and data collection are illegal in Canada?

Maybe my comment wasn't clear, I meant the 0€ version. As in, those apps cost 0 money but aren't "free". Just an attempt to be snarky.

But it doesn't say "Top for 0€" in Canada, it says "Top free"

Exactly. EU famously has much stronger consumer protection laws
