Me: I never use official reddit app ever since I procure my phone 2 years ago, Using infinity is my first choice in browsing reddit in mobile, stealth is the second but I love infinity that I go back using it, in desktop I use teddit.net but if I want to post I use the official website on Firefox with uBlock Origin to deter the ads and trackers, now I'll never go back on reddit if their decision is final to charge developers for their API, because Infinity, Stealth and Teddit devs probably will shutdown as they are only solo/small teams that just want to make the digital world a better place they can't pay for api donating to them will only do good for a short time as the API is fucking expensive and breaks the rule of FOSS philosophy

this excludes Apollo and other Close Source software that uses reddit's api though as I never use it so I can't say things about them

bukod sa API changes, palala ng palala yung promotional bots sa reddit, yung mga nasa popular minsan, yung mga commenter ay obvious na bots,

name na compose of 2 words and 4 numbers <30day account a generic positive comment dun sa post na pinopromote and also its the 1st and only comment. then multiply mo sa dami ng bots, so ang result nasa popular bigla yung post. ang nakakatawa, yung iba unknowingly nag rereply dun sa bots hahaha.

last time naalala kong post is yung indian teenage girl from slums, na piniling model ng beauty products. uplifting news diba? nasa popular uun, then pagcheck mo puro bots pala kaya nasa popular, while oo good for the girl, pero yung pagiging popular ay thru bots are not genuine. advertising strategy lng nangyare. same other soc. med. boost by bots.
