I never use an app and i always ignore it when it tries to talk me into using the official one, but they can eat a bag of dicks for this. - Beryllium May 31, 13:26 3
- It’s the spreadsheet guys winning the day. I don’t see Reddit ads on Apollo just like I didn’t see Twitter ads on Tweetbot. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ May 31, 13:42 2
  - Loss of ad revenue *should* be the factor involved with charging for access to the API but as the Apollo guy posted, it doesn't add up -- nm - oblique May 31, 13:47 1
    - Correct but I’m guessing the ultimate goal is just to kill the third party apps and the API. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ May 31, 13:54

- People sure complain a lot about the official app. I use it. I've never really had a problem with it -- nm - oblique May 31, 12:39 2
  - Never used the official app. I've used Reddit is Fun since I first started on Reddit. - sycor May 31, 12:52 1
    - I tried their app and it's trash. I use rif now after reddit purposely broke reddit.com/compact on mobile. - Krusty May 31, 14:11
Oh man. RIP Reddit. -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ May 31, 12:29
