    Yup… reddit only gains from people being forced into using their own app. Apollo and other 3rd party clients don’t track data like “time spent looking at X ad”.

    More metrics and such to sell to advertisers.

      it’s disgusting how no one wants to actually be a company that provides things anymore, but simply a company that does deals with advertisers

        the admins of lemmy.ml are tankies and encourage this sort of propaganda posting. i’d highly recommend you move instances if this bothers you; sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org are both good instances
