tl;dr: They locked the original icon behind Reddit Premium.
They have to look different from each other so that I can find them but otherwise no, I do not care how the icons look and I have never met another android user that does either. While there are third party launchers for android to customize your user experience and they allow you to change icons I have never met anyone that uses launchers exclusively for that purpose.
The reason I am talking about iOS is because that is what we are talking about. iOS has a system to pay for app icons and Android doesn’t. Paying $5 for an app icon is alien territory for me.
IOS has no such feature, what’re you talking about? This is exclusive to Reddit, and technically Apollo as a donation system. Apple didn’t make this, and it’s not a system level feature. Reddit made this, and you access this nonsense within their own app.
Also, congrats, you now know an Android user who cares about what their device looks like. I’m genuinely surprised I’m the first though, as the level of customization Android offers makes for an ideal place for those looking to customize the look of their device.
Btw try not to use so many strawman arguments in the future. I never said people used third party launchers exclusively to change icons, for example. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, but figured I’d let you know regardless.
I still find it weird that people care about icons but I find you weirder for getting this upset about it.
