TopicReddit is killing all the third party Reddit apps

Using reddit in-browser on a phone is already pretty bothersome because they try to push the app so often. I've had posts that I'm working on just get straight-up erased because the page decided to refresh to give me the "this page looks better in the app" popup again. I have every reason to expect that if third-party apps are no longer a viable alternative, they'll double down on making the browser less pleasant to use for the sake of encouraging their app, which is just bothersome. I'm really not a fan of the all-too-common strategy of pushing people to use an app not by making the app more attractive but by making the non-app options less attractive. If you want to harvest my data, make it worth my while.
