r/Apple: Unofficial Apple Community
r/apple
Hey /Apple
If you're having déjà vu, I posted a couple of weeks back, a few hours before the blackout. I'm posting here again with the mods' permission.
I'm sure most of you know the BS going on with third party apps. Reddit wants me, and by extension, you to use their damned app to consume the content people like us generate. As a matter of principle, I refuse to install their native app where I have zero control over what's shown to me.
Harder for us to block ads and much easier for them to scoop up your data, right? To further that agenda, simply browsing their web version on Safari now means we’re inundated with, well, waves of crap.
It might be a modal covering half the screen with links to the App Store, an immediate popup asking you to login, or a header screaming “the app is 10x better”. Bottomline: it has to go.
Introducing Sink It
Finally fed up, I’ve built a super tiny, super minimal Safari web extension to deal with this BS. It’s called Sink It for Reddit. You can get it on the App Store.
Sink It is completely free and has no BS — no ads, no in-app purchases, and no subscriptions. It really is free.
About Community
Content Philosophy
Content which benefits the community (news, rumors, and discussions) is valued over content which benefits only the individual (technical questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc.). This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities, r/Apple and r/AppleHelp. If you'd like to view their content together, click here.
