@staidwinnow Yes, that’s what it looks like to me, and seems to be the consensus of those who use the app and Reddit more heavily than I do.
Unfortunately I guess a sufficient mass exodus from Reddit in protest is unlikely. Assuming the iOS:Android user ratio to be ~50:50, that’s still a sizable number of iOS Redditors who don’t use this app or wouldn’t be willing to leave the platform.
One of the main strengths the masses have is…being a mass. But I think people have to be hugely uncomfortable to change their habits. Together with the psychological pull of the social media siren song, this won’t be enough.
