Privating protests definitely had some teeth in the short term, but not in the long term. In the short term, it targeted what Reddit and other social media sites value most: user retention. By privating subreddits, people would be denied access to the content they want (while being served ads), so they'd click off the website. That's why it's gone now. It's sad people are still volunteering their time for the profit of investors. I would, though, argue that privating subreddits was one of the most effective online protestings of recent history

I set up a VPN tunnel to my home network and use pihole to block ads which worked on this app too, so that wasn't a problem but the audacity to remove my paid-for full access was astoundingly awful

On that note, I bought a GIF viewer app's full version via in-app purchase and about a year later, they updated the app to have ads again regardless and my "full version no ads" app got ads again and now i had to buy a subscription per month to be "ad free" needless to say I uninstalled

Biometric login. It is available to an extent through fprint on Linux but support is not there for all hardware and it isn't a very seamless experience to setup at the moment

Audacious with winamp skins, weening off windows' foobar2000 as an old favorite, jellyamp, amberol occasionally

Love the look of this, would love to be able to use this on my current phone

I assume you're talking about the haptic feedback on the touchpads? You should be able to reduce it in Settings > Controller Options > Calibration and Advanced > Haptics unless its changed
