    That is what I expected next. My only alternative to Apollo to use Reddit adfree was the mobile browser with adblock.

    I remember a few months back when we used to google things for reddit on mobile it wouldn’t let you access the full post but would instead tell you to continue on their app. There was community feedback and Reddit back-tracked and allowed mobile browser access. They’ve really stopped caring and I’m glad I’ve been forced off of that site. It doesn’t look like they’ll be rolling back this decision at all.

      This shit would drive me nuts. My friends and I would send each other links we found on Reddit through messenger or text and when I would get one, it would take me to a blurred view of the page and tell me to view it on their app. I would back right out, go on RedditIsFun, and search the title of the post there. To stop this from happening to people I sent to, I’d just take a screenshot of the meme and send it in a group chat and say I saw it on r/whatever. If you force me to use your broken shit, I’ll send that meme in a fax out of spite if I have to.
