It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

    I would literally be fine with scrolling past some ads if the shit worked. Their app (and the god awful redesigned site, always used the old.reddit when on a PC) was just so freaking bad. Like I’ll tolerate some corporate bullshit and ads if IT WORKS WELL. You can’t make me consume ads to use a broken half functional product.

      Did you know that, new Reddit was designed so user spend more time on Reddit?

      Less content on page mean reduce mental fatigue, mean more time spend scrolling.

      Less content mean each content will have more of you attention. Meaning that an ads insert in the scroll will get more click.
