I've heard a few people say that they don't use reddit apps anymore and only access reddit via old.reddit. Could someone explain to me how that resolves the "morality issue"? Isn't that still traffic (kbin.social)

I've heard a few people say that they don't use reddit apps anymore and only access reddit via old.reddit. Could someone explain to me how that resolves the "morality issue"? Isn't that still traffic and aren't they still getting money? Is it less money somehow?

I suppose if you use old Reddit and block ads they're not making money directly but it's still traffic.

I always used old Reddit anyway, I left because it turned to shit not because of a particular app.

Isn’t that still traffic and aren’t they still getting money?

Yes

Is it less money somehow?

No.

Dunno for sure, I feel the same way as you, but I think it's more about "I refuse to use the app you intended me to be forced to by killing [favorite 3rd party app].

If combined with an adblocker they don't get your ad revenue but they do still get to add you to the tally of "active users", so I still feel abandoning ship altogether is best practice.
