1 year agoDepends how you define ‘worthless’. In the case of Apollo, it certainly wasn’t financially worthless for him. And just to be clear, I have no issue with a quality app developer making money doing what they do.
I felt this, but as the end of the month drew nearer and I adjusted to the idea of losing Reddit more, it has actually felt like a really cathartic process for me. Using PowerDeleteSuite on my profile, creating a new one here, searching for new communities within it. I honestly think this change will be a net positive for me personally. Reddit was absolutely swamped in noise and low quality content, it had been for years. A communal shift into a new world, that holds different values at the forefront, and by default (smaller, federated communities) content quality should improve. It reminds me a little of the old message board days.
I’m just waiting on a kbin app that goes at least some way to being as good an experience as Apollo was, as I’m mostly a mobile user.
