Anandtech Off-Topic subreddit will go DARK in protest of API fees:

No popups to install their (cr)app?

I get a little thingy that shows up at the bottom of the window prompting me to install the app. I tap continue and get on with life. I can't see how that would make the mobile site "crippled", it nearly rises to the level of "minor inconvenience" but not quite.

It's my understanding the mobile site *is* crippled . The desktop site is hot garbage and only made tolerable by old.reddit.

Once 3rd party apps are gone I imagine old.reddit is next on the chopping block.

At least one big third-party Reddit iOS app will live on

Not all apps are going away.

At least one app is going to give it a try. Although they are going to charge "4 to 7 dollars a month".

Guess we will find out how many people out there are desperate enough to not use the official app? Or just use old.reddit (for now...)

Once Apollo went offline I just stopped using Reddit on my phone. I still use it on my desktop but my usage has gone way down. Been using Tildes for now on mobile.
