View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
That’s fucking wild. With how absolutely terrible the official app is, I can’t believe so many people use it. I suppose the average Reddit user isn’t savvy enough to look up alternatives… at this point many people don’t even know it’s a web site. They just download the official app and are like “I HAVE REDDIT NOW”

Honestly most just don’t care enough to seek out third party apps if the official app is “good enough.” I didn’t really have a problem with the official app and have used it for years, but last year I developed cPTSD and reading certain words/posts on Reddit were worsening my mental health so I downloaded and paid for Apollo purely to filter out those words from my feed. I’ve since really come to like Apollo, but I can understand most people may not care about the extra features.
