To kick off June, the world of 3rd party reddit apps was put on notice – prepare to pay by the end of the month or go away, they were essentially told. And well, it’s now June 30 and very few appear willing to pay. The end has come for some of the best reddit apps. For those catching up on this...
I uninstalled RIF and don’t think I’ve looked at reddit since. I’d generally do most of my reddit browsing via RIF and longer posts I might pull up a browser on my PC to type on a keyboard.
But without the initial browsing on RIF, I’ve not felt the need to open it up at all on desktop.
I checked the official app but it’s awful. So many adds that have no clear visual cues it’s an ad, so you start reading it and realize halfway it’s just an ad. It makes you so pissed you just don’t want to continue browsing.
