Reddit Is Fun was the only way I browsed Reddit on mobile. The mobile app is crap and doesn’t actually properly load posts. I get down a few scrolls and it ends like there isn’t anything else to view.
Let’s be honest, this price change was all about being able to charge the big corps mega money for access to their data in order to train new generations of AI. The price is absurd, yes, but the owners of reddit know that Google and Microsoft have deep pockets (among other global corps wanting the massive amount of data reddit has saved).
They never expected the third party apps to be able to pay this much and frankly, they don’t care. It’s HUGE profit from AI corps, and the losses, at least short term, will be overshadowed by the gains. Long term? I don’t know, this isn’t my area of expertise, but, like I did with Twitter, I have moved on so at this point, it’s no longer relevant to me.
Why is this mildly infuriating? I’d put it in a community called maddening or even redditsucks or something lol
RIF is all I ever used, too. I’ll miss it!
RIF was such a good app. Hopefully Jerboa will get there, and Lemmy, as a whole, will get to a comparable state. Already liking Jerboa a lot honestly. RIF will of course be missed though
I mostly used Sync for Reddit until I recently switched to iPhone and then Apollo. Both fantastic apps.
+1 been a Sync user for probably over 10 years… It’s been an app I’ve opened near daily since then too, I’ll miss it.
I went from Alien Blue to Apollo. Fuck reddit for killing great apps.
Yup, same here. Really sucks to see them give so few fucks about their user base. Oh well, time to switch.
Fuck /u/spez
I just installed Jerboa and it totally kicks ass! I will miss rif but with such a nice replacement I can just comfortably switch to lemmy
