Fully agreed. Reddit without Apollo, Narwhal, RIF, Sync, etc is just plain unusable. The official site and app are so blatantly built around pumping "engagement" without regard to user experience and are engineered badly to boot.

Along the same lines, once old.reddit.com stops working, it'll be the end of the line for me as well.

I just wish one of the countless Reddit alternatives in the past ten years had gained any significant amount of traction (outside of very niche groups or groups far on the political fringe).

Same. I can’t stand their web version or their own app. It’s Apollo or nothing for me.
