I don’t regret my time on Reddit. I enjoyed it a lot, though it did kind of feel like I was in a bit of a backwater after development switched to the new interface and updates for the UI stopped coming in.
I also expected Reddit to shift to their monetization phase at some point. I just hoped that whatever they did wasn’t going to be something that I didn’t like. As it happened, they killed the third-party apps, which is something that I wasn’t going to put up with if there was any reasonable alternative. I have never used the official app, and don’t intend to do so. But I don’t think that I “fell” for anything – I got use of a service that made me happy for a long time.
