It really was. Apollo was the reddit UI for me. The old reddit web page looks awful on a phone. The new page is a mess of algorithmic disaster on any device. I cannot stand their 1st-party app. When they killed the API, I no longer enjoyed using reddit on my phone, which is where I accessed it 95% of the time. They made it pretty easy for me to stop using the site at all.

OTOH, I had previously posted often enough to get in on the IPO, and that made up for a lot of the annoyances.

Couldn't agree more. Pushing people away from 3rd party apps was a business decision I understand as much as I disliked it (Boost gang gang) but the unusable nightmare of an app they pushed me toward was such an insult that I ended up just off the platform entirely. Any social media site that loses the bathroom loses the war, and Reddit was no longer my #1 for #2s.

You, sir, are a poet.

I'm surprised they still support the old web UI which is the only way to make reddit usable these days.

Once they pull the plug on that I'll be finally done (though I'm already so inactive it won't make a difference really)
