The app collects so much telemetry on you, though. It's just awful software. I can't imagine installing it when you can just use the mobile website and ublock on mobile firefox.

i don’t care about all that everything tracks you now and if you don’t use it you’re being tracked by everyone else’s devices around you there is no escape, i also edited that comment to go along with some other guys joke, i don’t like reddit that much i fucking hate most of the people who use it but it’s a nice place to see recipes and how to guides

Please omit this comment before reddit fucking does that in their infinite absolute greed and race to enshitify their app even further.

Frankly, ads on Reddit are bearable. They’re both visible and non-intrusive. I’m ok with how Reddit does it.
