Will your participation in Reddit change? 19
Hi All,
Reddit is changing their API charging model, which will likely kill off many of the third party apps used to access the site:

Do you use a third party app to get here?
Will Reddit’s change affect the frequency of your visits to this sub?
Yes, RIF.
I’ll probably stop using Reddit.
I use Relay and yes, my participation will probably change. If I’m no longer able to use it I’ll probably stick to only using Reddit on desktop.
Yes, i use Boost. Will probably switch to patched stock client (vanced), but knowing how terrible the unpatched one is, I’ll likely be on Reddit way less.
Relay for 99+%. I’ll stop using Reddit.
Yep. Only ever used RIF.
RIP
I use infinity. If that stops, maybe I will visit reddit on my desktop sometimes, but I am 90% on mobile, so that’s it. Moving to Lemmy and some forum boards
Ublock origin on Firefox with the mobile site is horrible and it literally tries to stop you from even scrolling.
Won’t affect my use of Reddit at all.
I only use old.reddit in a web browser.
95% on desktop computer with a large monitor.
5% on smartphone.
My participation will definitely change. I use Relay and I despise the official mobile app. I’ll stop using the app on mobile while I’m commuting (when I use it the most). I’ll keep using desktop but if they end up killing off old.reddit and RES then I’m pretty much done.
I will not stop using Reddit. I didn’t even know there were third party clients to begin with.
I got used to its broken state: the player, the filters, the UI, everything.
I want to try them, tho’: what di you recommend for Android?
I use the Reddit Android app. My usage won’t change.
I *only* use 3rd party apps and browser mods like [RES](https://old.reddit.com/r/Enhancement/). While RES won’t be affected by the API shitfuckery, **Reddit™** has made it abundantly clear that old.reddit.com will eventually be retired. Some of the early talk about this had planned to do so in timeframes which have already passed. **Reddit™** can’t control the user experience through old.reddit. With this API change I can’t imagine old.reddit will avoid **Reddit™** scrutiny, going forward.
I honestly can’t stand the **Reddit™** constructed user experience. I predict that, as the Gypsy woman predicted, another site will rise from the split. Just as Reddit was the harbour for orphaned slash dot and other sites which collapsed; just as Reddit was once a tiny underdog unable to make a blip on the Radar against Facebook, a change will occur.
No. I use the app. I don’t understand why people are upset
i’ll be gone in a hot minute.
i mostly use rif, so if i lose that i’ll probably stop using reddit, at least on mobile. probably a good change overall
I’m not sure if I’ll completely stop using Reddit, but my use will be far less because I will not install the official app on my phone
As the native Reddit app is terrible (spamming me with irrelevant or offending messages), I wil stop using Reddit.
yes.
Reddit is easily replaceable, but they don’t seem to realise that.
Ive never noticed any issues w the mobile app. Theyve never sent me any “offending” push notos. I scroll through my feed and im satisfied cause i follow the things i wanna follow. I think some of the peoples experiences are to blame on them and how you use the app. I get the UI issues and apparent spyware, but if you just have common sense and know how to navigate the internet, you can still enjoy this app on the go… not sure why everyone’s so butthurt over this
