RiF was reddit for me. And it pisses me off because if Spez had been reasonable, I would have happily signed up for Reddit Gold to have continued API access.
Other than occasionally checking in on the Ex-Mormon subreddit (to follow up on an institution I dislike even more), I am done with reddit forever.
Same here. It’s crazy to me that Reddit decided to alienate the portion of their userbase that was most willing to pay a subscription. Most third party app users are super loyal to their app of choice, and would likely (grudgingly) spend a few extra bucks each month to keep using it. These are users that have, in many cases, been using the same app for over a decade. That is essentially guaranteed long-term revenue.
Instead those users are jumping ship or browsing Reddit behind an ad blocker.
Yep, it’s dead for me too.
