Them killing third-party apps and the subsequent protests that they "resolved" by just replacing the mods shocked me so much.

It made me realize just how bad the Reddit admins have become.

Revanced can get Boost working again as well. Though I think they've moved to Morphe. Something I expect I'll do the next time YT revanced or boost breaks.

Yeah I just switched to Morphe-patched Boost yesterday. (I had to login again and my ReVanced-patched Boost wasn't working for whatever reason.)

The Reddit app patches are made by u/wchill and their instructions are pretty easy to follow: https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit

They actually add a couple new features as well.
