Bullshit. I’ve been using third party apps before the official one ever existed

Before I switched over here and this situation started getting big, I saw a post over on Reddit that explained how the "official" Reddit app was actually a third party app that they bought out...

Yup. They bought Alien Blue, swapped the logo colour to orange, made it the official logo and called it a day.

This is not true. They also stripped out a shit ton of functionality.

I was using Boost for Reddit, and I was always overwhelmed by the customization options. Absolutely loved it though.

Ha ha... Someone internally really needs to be like "dude, seriously shut up at this point you're just making it worse" .

There is nothing more amusing than someone with an enormouse ego making a complete cluster fuck of a situation.
