PSA: Hardened browsers (desktop or mobile) are still an option. I know it isn't but it would be difficult to convince me that the official app is better than even that.
TLDR: Hhhhhe he said "hardended." uh heh heh...

Still works for me on base infinity
it's such a stupid thing. like reddit is not earning anything anyway if I am going there only for porn. like advertisers are not going to put ads in NSFW subs anyway. what's the point of this change
The point of this is to:
- Reduce the number of API requests from whatever 3rd party apps are left; this reduces server load and costs.
- Coerce users into trying the 1st party app and tolerating it so they can watch NSFW content. This may cause some users to abandon the 3rd party app and just settle for the 1st party app.
I doubt it has much to do with advertising.
