Reddit is effectively dead to me if the third-party apps that make it bearable go away.

The few subs that I am in now are pretty low-quality overall, with most posts being either the same questions asked over and over by people who can't be bothered to read the sidebar or use the search feature, or image meme shitposts. I won't be missing much if I can no longer access them on my own terms.

I feel like Reddit is somehow jealous of the success of Facebook and Twitter for vapid content and is taking their best run at digging themselves down to the same level. Quantity over quality always wins on the modern Internet I guess.

(Edit: The fact that they don't even want their users browsing Reddit on a smartphone web browser should have been a giveaway that they were going to lock down their assets further eventually.)
