It's 100% the same. The official app isn't even that bad if you remove the ads. The biggest problem (powermods) still remains ironically after all of this. Bummer really, I thought they would use the opportunity to clean up

The main concern with the official app is the data it hoards. Back in the day it even needed permissions for your Google account on Android, and did not work without it.

Fair enough. I've accepted that everyone knows more about me than myself and moved on haha

To be honest, I only looked at a few niche subforums, but on them the daily posts have halved.

But maybe it's also how those sites now gather the data.

Do you know more about this?

The daily posts we see are mostly a function of the algorithm. I don't frequent small enough subs where the number is so small that they can't be saturated - so my experience might be tainted
