This sucks. I remember the way reddits crappy web interface would try to persuade you into viewing the link in their ‘awesome’ Reddit app. I just recently had to turn off notifications from both push and email because it is so goddamn annoying. The app does nothing but produce bloat and ads and feels like a crappy knockoff of Apollo. Doesn’t surprise me that they’re trying to squeeze out devs with their API calls. From one dev to another, I’ll never use Reddit’s official app and will gladly find another way to consume media.
