To me, I loved using Relay for Reddit, but them killing the 3rd party apps in itself wasn’t why I left. The whole situation just showed that Reddit doesn’t care about the community, they just care about profit, and they’ll happily shaft the users and prominent members of the community.
Even then, the way they went about getting that profit was so sleazy to me. I don’t like it, but I get a company needing to make a profit. But there’s ways of doing that where you can still put the community first.
This, I was all going with the flow with the blackout (my 3rd party app in particular is apparently “in talks” so good chance won’t get shut down), but after the AMA I just left. I spend time here and on tildes, fulfills my need to be social on the internet.
Hell, before the AMA I was willing to pay a sub to use an app on my phone, not anymore . . . after all the shit of the past decade I am just done, and I think there are thousands like me.
