Me: I never use official reddit app ever since I procure my phone 2 years ago, Using infinity is my first choice in browsing reddit in mobile, stealth is the second but I love infinity that I go back using it, in desktop I use teddit.net but if I want to post I use the official website on Firefox with uBlock Origin to deter the ads and trackers, now I’ll never go back on reddit if their decision is final to charge developers for their API, because Infinity, Stealth and Teddit devs probably will shutdown as they are only solo/small teams that just want to make the digital world a better place they can’t pay for api donating to them will only do good for a short time as the API is fucking expensive and breaks the rule of FOSS philosophy

this excludes Apollo and other Close Source software that uses reddit’s api though as I never use it so I can’t say things about them

    okay lang di naman sana may ads sa reddit, kasi yun lang naman mostly ang source of income ng mga free sites eh

    pero itong ginagawa ng reddit eh kupal talaga. they want to shut down 3rd party apps but

    • Denies they want to shutdown the 3rd party apps
    • Hurls false accusations against 3rd party app developers
    • Charges rates that are incredibly unreasonable

    Nakakabuwisit lang talaga kasi reddit is my favorite website and it sucks that established communities will have to be rebuilt dahil sa kagaguhan nila
