For individual users (not voracious LLM and data mining and surveillance), is there any reason an app can't just be a "specialized Web browser", scraping subreddit memberships/posts/comments just-in-time, as a user browses interactively, with that access pattern and pacing? Or a plugin of improvements for a general-purpose Web browser? (It could even preserve ads.) The reason for such an app would be that a lot of pe…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is Google's "For You" ?

Could be referring to the suggested news on the mobile home page and also in Google News

Correct; I'm not sure what to call the mobile home page, but it's different from just the News "For you" offering (which I also use), though I'm not sure how.

Please Reddit, just let us use a web browser to access your web site. Users shouldn’t be forced so aggressively into using an ‘app’ - whether the official one or a 3rd-party app - when mobile web browsers are so very capable.

Have you tried using the 'old' reddit? Replacing 'www.' with 'old.' will move you over to the old style of reddit and will keep you there when clicking through links. https://old.reddit.com/r/all/

They’ve got rid of the alternative mobile UI (I.reddit.com). And a lot of links from old.reddit.com redirect to the main site.

Reddit Permabanned me (13 year old 450k karma account) after I went after crypto scammers, calling out the scam with details etc. I got tons of coins or whatever gifted to me and even more thanks and way to go from users. Evidently reddit considered it harassment (of the plain as day scammers) and won't budge after an appeal. So, f reddit.

Company that can’t make money desperately tries to gouge profit out of stuck users. There’s a playbook for this.

I'm amazed that one of the most visited website/app in the world with highly cacheable (free user generated) content can't be profitable (enough?).

old.reddit.com and Apollo are the only things that makes reddit usable. I suspect that there are plans to do away with old.reddit.com at some point.

Maybe that will be reddit's Digg exodus moment.

I read a thread on reddit about the api fees where commenters called out HN as the next site to move to. Hopefully not.

Here's a much more informative post [1] from Apollo developer Christian on Reddit last month, along with an older post [2] with some additional info.

Reddit is getting destroyed by tiktok for casual news/random videos etc. I was a huge reddit user over the years, but now I only go there for a handful of very specific subreddits. That's really it's only use anymore. It's great for that, but they are probably seeing massive decline in usage. And the moment they basically kill 3rd party reddit apps is the day I barely touch it again.

I can't really agree. The curation on reddit just far, far better outside of the super generic frontpage subreddits. Tik tok is 99% garbage content.
