I do quite firmly believe I have witnessed the death rattles of Reddit with this dystopian data farming nonsense. Absolutely nothing is worth this belittling monitoring shite.
Yeah, I noticed just a few hours ago that even with reddit enhancement suite (RES) on https://www.reddit.com/domain/v.redd.it/ I was getting the shitty reddit player where you can't resize it, and that finally made me snap and remove RES + a handful of userscripts associated with reddit.
So it's possible they just pushed some update earlier today.
