Have you tried using some third-party app for Reddit? "Reddit is fun" works pretty great for me, no nonsense and good usability.
The risk that any app will, now or in the future, be hacked, sold or just changed to suck all the data from your phone and send it somewhere you don't want it sent is too high for my taste.
Once they can get 3rd party usage below a certain threshold of engagement, they'll block the API.
TBH if they block third party I'm done with them. Def won't be accepting the default user experience.
And also, they'll get third party usage below a certain threshold if people don't use it so... Don't help them!
