Truth be told I don't care much about all of this, I just want my subs back or replaced so I can mindlessly scroll them. Wasn't using a third party app, but if I was I'd probably feel unhappy for a week before I simply switch and don't think back.
I'm never using Reddit's awful app -- it's just not how I like to use Reddit. I'm an old.reddit.com kind of person.
Honest question, what is so bad about the Reddit app that you would give up browsing the content you like?
I experience little ads, and if I would be annoyed by it I would probably find ways to get rid of it (pi-hole style). I'm OK with how the app displays comments, I can fold them etc. Don't need much more.
Ofcourse this protest was probably not on his timeline. Let’s hope it kills all traction it had.
If the first-part app is all there is, it's easier just to go somewhere else.
