      Reddit is shit, I’ve deleted all of my accounts. I’m not defending them at all. However, didn’t third party apps literally do the same thing? Where you could buy different themed icons?

        Yeah but it usually was a „support the dev“ thing.

        For example, Apollo (RIP) had an okay icon to begin with, you could choose from a few free ones and if you really liked the app or a specific icon, you could buy it.

        They didn’t intentionally make their standard icon shitty to bully you into paying for a decent one
