    Not to sound like I'm claiming to be up on a moral high ground or anything, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth using accessibility tools for non accessibility reasons when it comes to Reddit. Ordinarily, I wouldn't care, but Reddit has shown me that they don't give a shot about people who need accessibility tools at all. Allowing some of them to stay around was just a desperate attempt at preventing some bad PR. If they thought an accessibility tool was mainly used by people trying to bypass their stupid and greedy decisions, they would 100% kill it off in an instant
