Ha ha... Someone internally really needs to be like "dude, seriously shut up at this point you're just making it worse" .

There is nothing more amusing than someone with an enormouse ego making a complete cluster fuck of a situation.

Was never designed for mobile either, hence why third party apps popped up

This guy will dig a deeper and deeper hole for himself it seems.

Bullshit. I’ve been using third party apps before the official one ever existed

The official app was a third party app until Reddit bought it.

Before I switched over here and this situation started getting big, I saw a post over on Reddit that explained how the "official" Reddit app was actually a third party app that they bought out...

Yup. They bought Alien Blue, swapped the logo colour to orange, made it the official logo and called it a day.

This is not true. They also stripped out a shit ton of functionality.

I was using Boost for Reddit, and I was always overwhelmed by the customization options. Absolutely loved it though.

No point in getting mad anymore. Dumb-dumb's already said he'll be profit driven until he gets money. This just proves it's at the expense of the users. Reddit's just going to get worse.
