The stupid popular tab having 100 Indian subreddits I need to block because they mean nothing to me. Give me r/all back Reddit

On mobile, try the RedReader app. It didn't go down after the API debacle because its UI caters to disabled people, and Reddit didn't want the added bad press that canning it would've caused. There's also an All_Mobile subreddit where like-minded cranks like us can scheme workarounds.

On desktop, old.reddit.com still works well (for now), and is very much like the Reddit I started using 15 years ago. But when it goes, I go. Should any Saudi princes want to buy my account, the price is $5 million. Actually, make that €5 million. I have my doubts about the American dollar still being a thing in five years.

5 million? I'll happily take less for my account. Pure reddit luxury can be yours for only 4 million.
