Blows my mind that people just deal with ads.

What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn't even using for months, was "phoning home" literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can't be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I'll take the nagging, thank you.
