That was basically the motivation at the time. Sync was also affected, which used to offer the app under the label “Reddit Sync” (its original selling point was that you could download a large cache of Reddit to the app for offline viewing and “sync” it up later) and is why the subreddit is still called /r/redditsync.

It used to have a Snoo icon, too, and had to replace it with the (in my opinion much more clever) up and downvote arrows that form an S shape.
