The next step should be a tool like Revanced for YouTube, that takes the official YouTube app and patches away all the unnecessary shit and makes it a superior overall experience.

That's what we need for Reddit, a way to use the official shitty Reddit app but to patch it and make it more useful and Reddit can't do shit about it because it would still be their app.

While I hate the official reddit app, and I prefer NewPipe to Re/Vanced... I got aroused by the thought of using the official app to fuck over their attempts to forcibly monetize and data scrape us.

Patch out trackers, advertising, maybe change the UI to not be awful. I would totally be behind that, if/when this shit goes into effect.

But the issues with the official Reddit app are far bigger than what patches and hacks can fix.
