I literally only use Reddit for porn, and whilst Relay was working and still is, I get a warning that this isn't possible unless I use the official app, or the website... All my mobile usage from Reddit has pretty much disappeared.
They should have back tracked, but doubling down is a death sentence for me. They can keep having posts, but 99% of them are already reposts from other sites - Reddit as a whole may as well be a combined Facebook style echo chamber and Tik Tok archive, because these days it doesn't feel like it's much else.
does everyone only use reddit for porn?
like shit i only use reddit for porn now i thought i was weird.
unless we're both weird
I use Pornhub like a regular person. I’m not gonna get off to some 15 second gif or go browsing through someone’s profile to see the same video reposted in 30 different subs
I used it for other stuff but when porn popped up on my feed I'd often forget about that other stuff and go down a rabbit hole of "damn, she's bad af! Anymore of her?" And whatnot
I ONLY did that bc Boost had a handy download button and made it super simple to collect the videos I liked. Before that I never used redshit for porn as when I jack it I just go to the hub or w/e as redshit's format regarding porn is too inconsistent for my liking. I'm picky, and will only find about 1 out every 50 women to be my type regardless of sub.
Just wasn't worth wasting my time on. However, with the download ability? If a baddie popped up I'd go through the profile and put the best videos in the spank bank to jack it to later.
Now Boost is dead. I hate the official app with a passion. Wouldn't use it if it were excellent bc of the huge "F YOU!" The site gave me and really doubt they've even implemented the download feature to the official app yet.
Hilarious how it took them so long to add a download feature. For many years i'd constantly see people tagging the video downloader bot or whatever or asking "where can I download?" And thought it was crazy that redshit and so many apps STILL hadn't implemented an easy download function when Boost has had it since day 1 of my use and always been so damn simple
I learned that if you create your own subreddit, it bypasses the restriction.
