I thought they restored all the edited comments? Maybe I'll give it a go then.

Hm, I deleted my account. I wonder how many of these I might have gotten...

Let's put in more bad ideas.

On SuperUser, people can't vote and do certain things without reputation. Semi annoying, semi understandable, right? Perfect for Reddit! And of course, users can make a monetary donation to increase their reputation.

$0.99 per month to read all the comments on a thread, slowly increase the cost year-over-year and eventually add a second (initially) $0.99 per month to read any comments at all (because you should only read posts and only the ones we want you to see).

That’s pretty insane. Who is paying that kind of money?

This absolutely reeks of despair

Modern day AAA gaming as well. It’s all battlepasses and digital store fronts you’re hit with first. Then they take an hour to fix store problems and a month to fix gameplay problems.

If they only took money once, that'd be acceptable. But like bullies and addicts, if you give them money once they just keep coming back for more.

Apple takes a cut too, so it's a whole line of squeezing cash out of users.

No more 3rd party apps, so now we have license to make our app shittier unless you pay to keep it less shitty.

The simple answer to this is to not use Reddit on mobile.

Right, and when Old Reddit dies, so does my account.

What's a Reddit?

I'm still using it for now, but I've started using other platforms as well to ease the the inevitable transition

There’s a few communities that haven’t made their way anywhere else at the moment, so I check in occasionally. No matter how much I want to engage with those communities though, the app keeps driving me away.

It has mind bogglingly dumb features like: muting the music you’re listening to, broken images, battery drain, being generally sluggish. That’s on top of sponsored posts, suggested posts and a terrible blocking system

The official app is full of so much garbage... Even if you remove the ads on Android with the ReVanced manager.

Within the first 10 posts you see, there is always a 'suggested' one that is more than 5 days old. Who wants that?

It almost feels like playing a flashy mobile game that wants you to spend money on every corner. It's insane.

Luckily for the few communities that I haven't found elsewhere yet, Relay is still working. I'm almost certainly not going to go for whatever subscription the developer ends up setting up (although I did buy Premium years back for it), so once that's live, I guess I'm out on my phone. I still can't believe how trash the official app is, and how it has moments of stutter even on my Pixel 7 Pro.

It’s apparently an event icon because place is starting again tomorrow
