It could be privacy focused by not accumulating that data.
Is there some reason I should believe they won't when it is clearly in their interest to do so?
Instantly made a Reddit -> Teddit redictor[1] rule! [1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/redirector/
That sounds like a foolish thing to do. Teddit terminates your TLS connection to Reddit, and all you have is their promise to not use that position of power.
Haha good one.

Even better.
I never understand this line of thought. Existing players are abusing their position, SO we wont migrate to a new player because what if they also abuse the position ? (which is in fact advertising itself on privacy explicitly)
Seems like a rather expensive free service to offer. How much bandwidth was used by the virality of this post? If this became popular I don't see how someone could afford to keep it going.
But yes, without ads or fees, it seems unsustainable.
No cruft, no cdn domains and no javascript . I gave up on reddit a couple years back, but this might make me rethink. With so many things turning to mud, this is a good thing. What I cannot figure out is how they do the [-] show/hide stuff without javascript? Even hacker news - which is relatively lightweight - uses javascript for that. EDIT: ...and I'm back. It's like eating a box of candy for dinner - sugar rush an…
Put the two together and you can do interactive elements without JS:
``` Some DOM ```
``` label::after{ display: block; content: '[+]'; } #input, .toggle-content { display: none; }
#input:checked + label::after { content: '[-]'; } #input:checked ~ .toggle-content { display: block; } ```
Off the top of my head, so YMMV but principal is all there.
You start getting headaches if you want animate that though (keyframes that animate a max-height from 0 to 9999999px goes some of the way but feels a bit hacky/doesn't give you much control over consistent timing.)

Biggest problem with Reddit is the giant echo chamber. Feels a lot like twitter. Super aggressive replies if you’re against the grain.

What value could they realistically get from aggregated Reddit browsing habits if they're not selling ads or even setting cookies? If they just want to see what's popular they can just use the Reddit API to get that data, or just go to the site.

... What? I've never downloaded it myself (for the same reasons as you), but that doesn't sound true. Play Store says it's 39MB. But maybe OP has that much in media in the app's cache or something.
It's not app's cache I believe, but rather app's data. I think they're different? It's indeed 39MB on Play Store, but after I installed it and used it for a month, it's using 1GB+ storage on my phone (after I deleted app's cache).
