I personally jumped ship because of the API pricing changes of Reddit.

I don’t even use third party apps. It’s just that I can’t give an entity my business when they treat folks who volunteer to make their platform better like that.

Same here, I’m a software dev for a living and it resonated differently/pissed me off hearing about the API pricing changes and what happened with Apollo’s developer

That’s a good reason to jump ship. And wow, I think you missed out on not using the 3rd party apps, but they’re coming to lemmy soon.

I am the opposite. I had a Reddit login for years but never used it. When I found out about Apollo, I gave it another go and it quickly became my Number 1 Internet time sink.

With Apollo no longer functional, Reddit (for me) is no longer functional.

The fuckery was just the icing on the cake to force me to delete my account.
