    Yup… reddit only gains from people being forced into using their own app. Apollo and other 3rd party clients don’t track data like “time spent looking at X ad”.

    More metrics and such to sell to advertisers.

      it’s disgusting how no one wants to actually be a company that provides things anymore, but simply a company that does deals with advertisers

        Reddits innovative spirit really did die with aaron swartz, who couldn’t stand working there.

        the admins of lemmy.ml are tankies and encourage this sort of propaganda posting. i’d highly recommend you move instances if this bothers you; sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org are both good instances

            Kbin recently popped up if you want an alternative to Lemmy, but it’s still in early beta
