I still use reddit on the browser, but I don't want their app. I simply don't enjoy the experience.

As long as old.reddit stays arround I'll still be there from time to time. But my commenting dropped from ~5 comments per day to ~5 comments per month and my clicks drooped to ~1% of what it used to be. I simply used it much more on mobile.

Sorry to anyone who sees my multiple duplicates on this thread, but most only get notification of direct replies.

I'll copy/paste a comment I made above again here in case it helps

If you find you want to go back to browse but limit the ad revenue, you can still reach it with some front ends like teddit.

Here is a good link: http://farside.link/teddit.com

Or, for example, you can directly access subreddits by appending /r/yoursubreddit to the end http://farside.link/teddit.com/r/memes

Sometimes an instance will be down. If so, try it again in a few minutes or in a new browser or tab so another loads.
