I absolutely despise the app and if I'm forced to use it I will quit forever.

mobile web is a nightmare. they now have a popup roughly every 3 minutes asking you to use the app and removed the button to turn off being prompted to use the app. no reason given, no complaints acknowledged

I hate to say this, but yes I will also quit reddit. The reddit app is horrible and the mobile site is unusable. I guess the positive thing is I'll get hours of my life back.

I only even rejoined to shitpost for fun and hang around a few niche communities, but if this goes down I'll try to get people to migrate off.

Seconding this.
I really appreciate the ability to have a text only version of reddit on mobile - for work and ease of use purposes.
Eliminating this and forcing use of your app with cancerous gifs/images/garbage is going to kill my experience as well.
I use reddit for reading, I don't give a shit about most of the video content and I'm more than happy to click if the video content is something I care about.
I don't know why this is suddenly a great idea. Any more than switching to "new reddit" was a great idea.

I'm also quitting. Official app is too annoying.

Same. Once I delete 3rd party apps I'm done using reddit. It's already been far too many second chances

Immediately that i post this, i am deleting the official Reddit app. Apollo and others are instrumental for many subreddits (check out r/ASL as an example. I already reduced my Twitter to using it like once per week for 2-3 mim all together. This new measures from Reddit may be what i need to wean off of Reddit so i only use it to the same extent as Twitter… (and thank goodness for Youtube!).

I am here via their crummy app and I gotta say, I may still use Reddit at the computer, but if I can't access it through Boost for Reddit on my phone, I'll be on it WAY less than I am now. So sad to see corporate greed take over. This such a great community when accessed through a 3rd party app. But if I can't get on with that app, I'll get on when I sit down at my computer. I will not use this POS reddit app in place of Boost for Reddit.
