It was based on principal. And Apollo RIP

Same two reasons, but maybe in the opposite order. If Apollo is dead then by principle I’m not going to use Reddit by any other means. But if some other third party app had been banned and Apollo was still alive, I’m not sure I would have been strong enough to break away on principle alone.

3-7 dollars minimum monthly payment to reddit and no nsfw would make me leave Reddit pretty fast.

What I’m able to say does not come across well in text. Please know that I’m using your comment as a diving board into a larger conversation and that this isn’t about your comment. I too am guilty of what I’m about to say.

But this attitude is the systemic reason why mega corporations, and billionaires are taking over. When the product we consume is good enough for us that we settle.

We’re exhausted into complacency until we’re personally affected by something.

Sorry, the we didn’t start the fire remake really put me in a mood

Yeah I totally agree and understand your point! I was admitting my own lack of a backbone when it comes to convenience vs morality; I’m certainly guilty of taking the easy route over the “right” one in many situations. I don’t love it but hey, we each only have bandwidth to fight so many battles.
