Reddit Ramps Up Its Threats to Protesting Mods, as Ad Buyers Leave

I definitely spent too much time scrolling through Reddit before a couple weeks ago, but I stopped cold when the protest started. Honestly, I think it&#x27;s better for my mood generally and I wouldn&#x27;t go back.<p>Thanks for looking out for me, spez.

I&#x27;ve been using Boost for a while now and decided that I&#x27;d give the actual client a shot. I mean I&#x27;ve been using Reddit since 2006 and old habits die hard.<p>I did not expect it to be so awful. Scrolling is actually sluggish for some reason, even when just reading comments, not to mention I keep getting garbage like posts from recommended subreddits and constant prompts to enable notifications. There&#x27;s also NFTs?!?!<p>I&#x27;m done, it has reached peak shittification.

Today will be the last day for me on Reddit (since I use it exclusively through Apollo); I mean, I may stumble upon it through Google searches on desktop every now and then, but I have no intention of installing their app on my phone.<p>I hope Reddit dies, they deserve to - also hope the communities find a consensus on an alternative to move to.

Mods should just quit. It&#x27;s not a strike if you don&#x27;t actually walk away.

Good that&#x27;s the only way they&#x27;ll learn not to be a jerk.

Why are we still taking about Reddit and Twitter? They are damage to be routed around.

oh yeah. everything is going as planned!<p>if the plan was to get rid of 3rd party apps the execution was a spectacular failure. doubling and tripling down also does not work and will backfire.<p>reddit will slowly slip into irrelevance. let&#x27;s see if the vultures can extract some value before it all goes to shift.

Keep in mind that half of America can’t participate in politics and news (and others). Their views are deemed wrong think and their accounts are banned.<p>This is effectively the type of censorship employed by communist regimes like China.<p>This is all facilitated by the Apollo app and the 3rd party api. The amount of censorship is really depressing. Anything that disrupts this at least a little is a huge win.

Quit you jannies. Quit! Or just clean up the vomit like you&#x27;re supposed to.
