Reason I have difficulty empathizing is because I'm in the same boat as them as being a reddit user. It's not like I'm expecting them to do something hard like a complete boycott of reddit, but just stop reddit mobile use whether its the official app or subscription options. And even provided options like rss for alerts and apps like Stealth for Android for lurking use which is a non account option where you can still get a custom feed and save posts with the only feature not being able to comment.

It's like saying just cut down smoking during the morning. So I don't think it's that demanding of an ask when it isn't even a boycott, but just saying to cut back a little.
