    same. when the blackout protest changed nothing about the 3rd party apps, I decided I was done, and never went back

    granted, it had been getting toxic for other reasons, but being forced to use their shitty app was the final straw for me

      Same with me. Well, that in combination with the way they treated the app developers. I honestly didn’t have an issue with Reddit trying to make money, or trying to prevent all the LLMs from skimming their content for free, but there was no reason to cut the app developers off at the knees.

      I had already changed my relationship/view of Reddit years prior when the internet connection to Russia was severed for a day or so and so many subs (especially political ones) became fundamentally different. Hard to ignore that. But i just couldn’t continue to give free content to such an awful company.
