Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
How do these apps still work? Aren't the apis fucked? Is this just some fancy browser with extra steps?

I'm on Android so I didn't look into OP's app. I just went looking into it after this post. Apparently if you create your own developer app ID and patch an app to use yours instead, I guess your usage is too low for Reddit to bill. Something like that.

"Tell me you don't know how reddit works without saying you don't know how reddit works."
This person sounds insane like one of those people who lives in an RV with signs all over it talking about 5G nanobots and how water causes cancer.
There's a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like "Hillary for Jail!"
Possibly the craziest thing I've ever seen.

They probably don't understand how anything works because they think learning about stuff is wOkE

What a dipshit...
That's super dumb. Also, I thought there weren't 3rd party Reddit apps anymore? Do you not still have to pay for the API?
Third party apps with small users bases or ones that are used by people with disabilities (that have disability features) still work. For now. Also apps that allow for a read only view (meaning they can't be used to sign in, write/post comments, or upvote/downvote) also still work I believe.
There's a few tricks around it. Web scraping, for example. I could also see like a webview portal with a custom layout
No reason to engage an idiot, not like you're going to change his mind.

The Reddit populace is pretty leftie. Except for the occasional brave soul commenting here and there, you have to search out certain subreddits to hear conservative views.
Not that your app has anything to do with that, of course.
I'd say it is (was? It's been ~a year and a half since I used it consistently but I'm guessing it hasn't changed too much since then) moderately left by US standards but definitely not progressive left - you don't have to go very far to find thinly-veiled sexism/racism/homophobia, though that might just be because a large portion of the people there are terminally online in a bad way. That being said, there are definitely also communities ranging from conservative to hardcore conservative as well but I actively tried to avoid those so I didn't really see them in my feeds. The same is true with progressive communities but they tended to drift away from being actually progressive once they got to a certain size.

This is a troll. Nobody truly with that view would copy paste to all the search results instead of just the official app.
