Aw man. I left Reddit on my own terms as soon as the writing was on the wall re: 3rd party apps.

To have access ripped away without notice must have bred some deep hatred for the platform.

I left Twitter for much the same reasons. All the replies are basically unusable now, because bots just pay to get put at the top of the sorting algorithm, and it's now full of bait and spam, since the website formerly known as Twitter now pays for engagement, since that apparently worked out well for Quora (!).
