Finally tried the official Reddit app. It’s as bad as they say.

    Legit thought Lemmy was serving me an advert for a moment there…!

    But yeah, the official R*ddit app is Garbo, they even bought Alien Blue years ago and have just failed to keep pace with Apollo, RIF or BaconReader. This API move is just a monopolisation of their content stream, hugely anti-competition.

    Even if they sorted out their app, rolled back API to free, I’d never go back. Fuck Spez.

      I’m using wefwef and the preview was perfectly cropped it looked like an ad as well. I was relieved it wasn’t.

      While spez is indeed a truly horrible piece of work, we should also keep in mind that he wouldn’t be doing this without having some serious backing from shareholders. CEOs are the public figure presented to us for the 2 minutes’ hate but let’s not forget that these decisions are taken in huge boardrooms. So maybe we should say ‘fuck spez et al’ instead of just ‘fuck spez’.
