Hey a good thing you realized that removing awards was a mistake. Now can you please do the same with third party app devs and their apps?

And maybe start listening to your userbase when they tell you you're making a mistake?

I used to block all the awards and other stupid shit like that with uBlock Origin.

I spent money on awards every now and then, because I use an ad blocker (and old.reddit *and* RES) so it felt nice to "reward" the community while providing some funds towards my main site. Now I spend 0 dollars on reddit and happily pay a small subscription to my favorite mobile app (Relay). Dummies.

Hah. They are not planning on correcting that mistake. They're going to replace it with a rewards program. This was planned months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/16ryhv9/celebrating_great_content_is_as_good_as_gold/[1] Saying "we messed up" is marketing or even outright lying.

I'd be fine using their official app if it wasn't so dogshit. The third party reddit apps like baconreader and boost run circles around their dogshit official app.
