When I think about why I stopped using Reddit and didn’t just switch to the official app when they killed the API, I forget that the official app has ads.
Not just the normal corporate shilling posts but actual literal ads right in the app.
I’m sure you can pay to remove them but nah.
Similar boat, I was pissed to be forced into viewing ads and didn’t want to give them my money. The funniest part is though that I then switched to a Lemmy app that also had ads and used it that way for months. Eventually paid for the Lemmy app because those devs actually deserve the money, unlike reddit.
I dont have a problem paying indie devs to remove ads but im not giving reddit a cent.
