Reddit has gone downhill so much over the years; RIF was the only way I could continue to enjoy Reddit, get past the fake-post ads, get past all the stupid bells and whistles and flashing awards and whatnot. Without RIF, I can't stomach what Reddit has become.
How Reddit reacted to the 3rd party apps builders also really pissed me off, too. Solidarity to people, not money hungry corp.
I may occasionally go to Reddit via my desktop, to visit some communities that I love. But I'll be reading, not participating.
