Reddit recently implemented significant changes to its API, which resulted in many third-party apps giving up on the platform. And...

I would probably pay tbh. I hate my home screen looking bad. I'm on Android and use custom icons, but if I had no other options I'd pay for it.
that's the whole point of what they're doing, to get people like you that aren't bothered, to pay for something that could be easily fixed. they created the problem on purpose...
That must be great to have so much money to spend it on things so futile and unnecessary 🤔
Necessary is a matter of perspective.
Sure, but don't you think that when an app's icon becomes a necessity, maybe it's time to question yourself ?
Not really. I've been styling my home screen for years. I use kwgt, klwp, and icon sets to create a custom look. It's what I enjoy doing, so no I don't think doing something you like requires you to question anything.
If you enjoy doing it, good for you then
$50 per year to change an icon.
It's not about the money. It's the stench of the thing.
They bent us over rather than asking for consent.
So, 6 dollars a month just to unlock the original icon?
There's no way you can be serious about that one. What else does reddit premium offer? No ads and an icon? How can anyone justify the price for that. At least with youtube premium you get a music service as well as no ads.
I am serious.
Do you have no boundaries?
It's 6 dollars for no reason. Do you just roll over for every coporation that wants to fuck you over?
No but I have money. If I see something I want, I'll pay for it. If I was strapped then yeah I'd be upset.
What you just described is called ransom.
that doesn’t sound so bad
not you, cheeky bugger
You are, what they call in the field, a "sucker".
I'm just someone who will pay for something to look good. If that makes me a sucker then I guess I have too much money.
You do.
It's a subscription, you're telling me you're willing to keep paying just for the icon? And not a cheap one for what it's worth either.
That is what I'm telling you.
