Yeah, and they should be. Like a third of the time that I pause a video, it’s because I want to take a better look at the screen. Can’t do that when ads are shoved in there.
And then there’s just the fact that it’s offensive how much they are shoving ads at people.
Redditors will complain about everything without actually doing anything. The API debacle should be enough evidence. So many said big words and then never left, you would’ve thought Reddit would go under with all the words said. And now Reddit is doing fine and made more money than ever

Do you mean when thousands of redditors, including a lot of top content creators, suddenly left? That’s redditors doing something.
Don’t forget administration. A lot of reddits spun up lemmy alternative.
What I find crazy is that they decided to pay for the API to keep using it with the few clients that operate that way, they are effectively paying for using Reddit SMFH.
Why would one even conceive that idea if you can have an ad-less experience of Reddit in desktop (Ublock Origin), iOS and Android (sideload) still.
you can use ublock origin on android firefox
Yeah, but I chose the iOS and Android clients every day (Apollo and Sync IMHO).
If you mod a sub, you can still use third party apps for some reason. I have a tiny, practically private sub, and I can still use the Boost app for reddit with no problem.
Oh, I am aware of that “hack” as well.
Can you see NSFW content too?
I am not really updated with how Reddit handled that after the APIcalypse.
Yes. To the best of my knowledge there is no restriction, and the only breakages I’ve noticed in the app in that internal links don’t work (links to a post on a sub just opens the sub) and I can’t view the “other discussions” page on a post.
If you think people are stubborn for sticking with Youtube and Reddit, just think how many people cling to the belief that customers control corporations by voting with their money.
Change your goal from hurting the bad corporations to supporting the individual creators and good companies.
It is a more sustainable mindset.
voting with their money
That’s the only thing we got left lol
People bitch on here about everything YouTube. What’s the Reddit component here?
My guess is it’s like how last June many redditors bitched about the changes and threatened to leave, but many didn’t and stayed through the enshittification just like this YouTube situation.
Meanwhile, me on NewPipe:
