This wonβt work on android because changing icon is trivial lmao
Assuming people know how to do that, this is preying on those who donβt.
It reminds me of all the nagging and lying that MS does, telling people who download other browsers that Edge is better for example. Almost everyone here with a bit of technical knowledge knows that is ridiculous. Now Edge already has 5% market share, more than Firefox though.
Interestingly this may piss off more people than the real issues. Most people didnβt seem to care at all about the API / 3rd party app support issues as long as they got their Reddit doom-scroll fix. But I bet whole bunch of these will be upset at having an ugly pixelated icon on their phone, muhawhaw.
They should pull a Howie, and do a prolapse icon.
imagine paying for an app icon⦠what next ? paying for a ringtone like in the good old days?
Zedge comes to mind. A site for buying ringtones (among other things like notification tones and wallpapers) or at least barred you from downloading the βpremiumβ ones without subscription.
I donβt understand how Zedge still exists, and is apparently doing relatively well too
This was honestly the straw that broke the camelβs back for me. I used to check reddit every now and then, but after this I just couldnβt justify it to myself to use it. I used to post a lot of stuff, and I modded a relatively small community, but it just feels wrong to use it.
I donβt like change that much, so I can tolerate a lot of stuff before changing.
