    Some people browse mainly from phone, ad blocking is harder since the API shit went down and most 3rd party apps folded or went to subscription.

      Phone user here, can confirm. Wouldn’t get anything done if I had lemmy or reddit open on my pc.

          Exactly! Add the alchohol and drugs and there’s no self-control left! Glad I’m not the only one, judging by the username.

      Harder? What? Ad blocking hasn’t changed at all. Just use a local vpn based blocker like Ad Guard, like a normal person. Stop making this weird.

        … And use what app to browse it on my phone? I’m not using their trash official app and I’m not using a phone web browser.

                Yep, that’s what I said. Not a specific app. So you don’t actually have an app in mind do you? I’m not reading a bunch of reddit threads to back your claim for you. You are simply wrong until you back your claim. I mean you can simply tell me what app you use right? The app that’s free and ad free when using your suggested VPN?

                  Huh? My claim is that ad blocking hasn’t changed from before or after the API stuff. What Reddit app you use - what method of accessing Reddit you use is completely irrelevant to the topic of blocking ads.

                  They’re ALL ad free when you block ads, you numpty.

                  I’m not sure if you’re straw manning me, red herring me, are drunk or just completely retarded, but in any case - you’re dumb as fuck.

                    And my claim is that many mobile phone users who used 3rd party apps did not even need a separate ad blocking solution, the apps already blocked them. Thus your claim that “ad blocking has not changed” is wrong.

                    The ads were blocked from me before, and the app I used is no longer available. That is the definition of changed for my use case. Maybe understand that not everyone uses things the way you use things, you condescending windbag.
