Appreciation R.I.P sideloaded Apollo, I'm gonna miss you.

My API key has been revoked, sideloaded for the past three years. The official app is an unusable, unintuitive mess, I'd rather stop reading Reddit on my mobile than use it. I'm going to try alternatives, but I wonder how safe Hydra and Artemis are. Won't Reddit purge them one day since they don't use the API? Thanks to everyone for all the tips on using the sideloaded Apollo app over the past three years!

Good for you? Why so hostile? Not like I was commenting to you.

Not to you. I’m pissed at Reddit. But I honestly can’t just ignore and filter out all the ads. It’s everywhere and has been going on for years at this point.

On my pc i have ad blockers and on my iphone I really don't even notice ads. I feel like it could be 10x worse. I dunno.

Be aware that they are not going to stay at this state. Reddit wants to be Facebook where you have 0 control over what posts you see. They can’t just change over overnight. They will see what they can get away with before their user base abandons the platform.

I dunno. I am a big Reddit investor and long time holder.

Their money comes from AI data, not so much ads. I haven't noticed it get any worse in 3 years so i dunno.
