@solidsnake911 I'm not going to pay.

Why pay to use a platform that's already making money with my personal data or the data that I post on Reddit?

That's why paying makes no sense. Like paying for having online games on a console. I'm not into that stupid idea, that's why I play on PC and pay for internet to my ISP.
Paying to any console company to play online games is like paying to the mafia for "protection".

Same applies to Reddit.
I'm not falling in those mafia techniques.

Totally agree, good comparative. I stopped pay PlayStation Plus to can play online to GTA V a lot of time ago. 24โ‚ฌ 3 months and 60โ‚ฌ 1 year is a lot of money just to can play online, and have 2/20 good games for download every month, which ofc you will not can play if you stop pay them...

For Reddit, I think this could be a great fix: an user made this with the ChatGPT-4 helps and correcting some stuff, an instructions with 7 snippets in Google Colab to build your own Infinity for Reddit with your personal API, which supports 100 requests per minute, and if the app is only for you that is enough. I will let you the link below. If I can do it without programming knowledge yet, I'm pretty sure you can and everybody.

Thanks to the dev for make it open source. I made mine app with my API 3 days ago and works great!! Althought I will stay here on Lemmy too because I like it and seems promiseful.
