    There’s zero chance I’m installing that app. Reddit is officially a cash grab that doesn’t deserve one letter of my content.

    Prior to the whole API debacle, I loved Reddit and used it daily.

    BTW, I still won’t use Sony products to this day because they put rootkits on their audio CDs to prevent piracy.

      Don’t forget that when Sony got called on it, they released a “patch” to “fix” people’s PCs. Except the “patch” was an installer for an even worse rootkit.

      This was all before Sony further proved they don’t value they customers by hosting an insecure network that, once hacked, revealed they stored all user information (including payment details and passwords iirc) in plaintext. Yeah, I’ve missed out on some fun games but I don’t give Sony a dime.

        Glad I’m not the only one who remembers and blacklisted the entire company. It was such an egregious violation of privacy, people’s hardware and all the other stuff you’ve mentioned.

        I only brought it up because I’m not a typical person that forgets after a month and goes back to the company. I’m done, done. That triple-down they did was enough for me to call it quits.

      For me it was Sony’s constant use of proprietary media. MemoryStick my ass!

        This comment gets funnier if you read “MemoryStick” as a verb

      I’ve been buying Sony headphones because they sound great for the price but they ALWAYS fail at the same plastic left ear hinge within 1 year or usually less. No more.
