I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn’t want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.

Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?

    The intentionally part is my only difficulty. I’d not realized until last week just how many search results were Reddit threads. I need to start excluding Reddit from my search results.

      I’ve clicked a few links on here, not realizing they would go to Reddit. Only to immediately close the screen, when I realized.

      And on the 12th, until I moved Apollo off my homescreen, I opened, and then immediately closed the app.

      I’ve been a lot more careful now. I also agree that google is more shit without Reddit. Google had already become pretty useless, imo, anyhow. With all the sponsored shit. I also think there was at least a period of time on the 14tb that google excluded all Reddit responses. I searched for something, fully expecting Reddit to be at the top. I scrolled for a while, and there was no Reddit results. It was weird.
