It’s still amazes me how little polish there is to the official Reddit app compared to other third party apps. I used Firefox browser until I adopted RIF. I tried to use the official app after the deadline came and the amount of ads that I was bombarded with just became unbearable. I understand they need to make money. I understand they do this by advertising. But when they start using deceptive practices like blending the ads into genuine post they cross the line. I was a heavy user I would say greater than 2 hours a day spent on Reddit. I didn’t go cold turkey but I’m down to checking top and top last hour once or twice a day now. I deleted my main account which made it very easy to stay away.

The “posts that look like ads” thing almost caused me to quit the site years ago.
