Just to let you know how ingrained RIF was in my routine...
I just woke up, grabbed my phone, unlocked it and tapped "RIF is Fun golden platinum". Your app was the first thing I opened on my phone every morning.
Your app was the perfect way to digest Reddit without the noise. My experience of a neatly curated internet on mobile is gone.
Unlike a lot of people here, I admittedly will probably continue to use old.reddit on desktop (with certain browser extensions of course), to get me to the closest thing to what rif golden platinum was. But my Reddit usage will definitely plummet, as I refuse to use that disorganised, pro-advertiser-anti-user mess which is the official app/new Reddit.
Thank you TalkLittle for navigating us through the noise for all these years and getting us to the news and content that mattered to each one of us.
