What is the issue with the main Reddit app? I am not a hardcore Reddit user, but besides occasional glitches loading videos, I don't have any real problems with the app. I guess there are some annoying ads, but I just ignore them. At least it doesn't do that awful auto play videos of people playing terrible music anymore.

I've been hearing that the official app is 'unusable,' which it really isn't. So I guess I'm wondering what I'm missing by not using the other apps.

That is terrible way of framing it. But little surprise given your other posts.

Reddit will exempt accessibility-focused apps from its unpopular API pricing changes.

...so make an accessibility-focused app with the extra good stuff, problem solved.

Clearly you've never used Apollo. Compared to that the official app is quite unusable.

here's how it always goes:

  1. look at all this porny stuff!
  2. you gotta log in to see the porny stuff
  3. you gotta log in and mess with some checkboxes to see the porny stuff
  4. that "secret" API endpoint you used to use to see the porny stuff without logging in, no longer works
  5. you gotta enter a credit card number or upload a scan of your ID to see the porny stuff
  6. actually... we're getting rid of the porny stuff
  7. where'd everybody go?

No. The insatiable desire for e-epeen and shitposting means everyone will settle into simple whining in about two days.

A full reverse? No. But they have to try and it could yield some concessions.

Will some users or mods leave when the changes take hold? Probably, but not enough for reddit to care.

The real stupid thing is that no one's even asking for the API access to be free.

They're just asking for it to not be stupidly expensive.

All anyone ever gets out of that is merely a restart of the enshittification cycle, like when Digg imploded and everyone moved to Reddit.

I don't think it's "unusable" but it's definitely not as clean or good as most of the third party apps. A big part of why reddit got popular in the first place is the openness of the site. You can customize the look and feel however you want.

There is a big issue with the moderator and accessibility tools as well. While mods are made fun of a lot the communities wouldn't be possible without their FREE labor.

Yeah which is why Reddit dying could be a good thing. The site was becoming more and more echochambery and filled with bots influencing opinions.

I'm curious which subreddits are going to remain shut down passed basically midnight, because it's pretty clear this is going to accomplish nothing.

Huffman has his head too far up his own ass to even be reasonable about the situation.

Mine will. It's nearly 2MM subs, but unfortunately it's NSFW so I can't post it here.

this really does prove that reddit mods lack even the most fundamental understanding of what reddit is, and how to manage a community. you can hide a forum but that doesn't change the community. sure, some members are on the hype train, but that will pass. and they'll just use other forums to promote and consume the same content. other forums for which the current mods will have no power.

Protests like these are pointless. They get you nowhere. And instead they rob your user base even more of being able to use its product. So instead of hurting the few you hurt everyone! Brilliant!

You don't think they're being paid do you? The point of the protests is to rob Reddit of users.

The NeoGAF exodus was a fairly small community. There has been no major website exodus since the proliferation of smartphones began (circa 2012).
