Honestly, mostly solidarity.
Sure, the fact that my preferred Reddit app was going the way of the dodo and the fact that they weren't even trying to negotiate in good faith were reasons, yeah, but at the end of the day, I was just gonna grit my teeth, patch the Reddit app with Revanced, and have that be my personal and insignificant F you.
Then I realized a bigger F you was to deprive them of content, future or present, (mine, specifically. As insignificant as it was) so I did.
And here I am
Honestly same! There's no particular reason for me other than solidarity
Like, sure, some communities were getting better or worse, but that's wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, and honestly due to Reddit's age it was bound to lose it's spark. Change is inevitable, so I jumped shit early
Loved this comment. Thank you. I wish more people were like you.
