How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?

    Didn’t even know what a 3rd party app was until the protests (never used reddit on my phone to limit the amount of time spent there, and was never very tech savvy).
    Left because of other reasons, like a couple mods of communities I love packing up and leaving and the sheer principle of it all.

      Did you use reddit with reddit enhancement suite on desktop? I ask because I found reddit was such a terrible experience without being able to block off a bunch of stuff beyond what reddit offers you in their settings.

      Felt like the longer people used reddit the more they ended up seeking out stuff like third party apps or extensions like RES as the feed started changing over the years of what got promoted.

      I would have used reddit so much less without those or started avoiding it even if there hadn’t been any api controversy.
