Reddit being enshittified is what motivated me to switch back to Android. I don't want to continue using a a locked ecosystem only for apple to one day say: "Welp, no more adblocks ๐ Oh you use VLC? Dude that's for pirates only. Signal? That's for terrorists. Standard Notes? What evil plans are you hiding? Banned Banned and Banned."
I used iPhones because everyone else was using them so I kinds fell for the peer pressure thinking "Hmm... what are the odds that Apple become evil? Probably don't have to worry about it." The Reddit shitshow just triggered a fear in me that made me rethink about my life decisions. Apple's locked ecosystem suddenly looked terrifying to me, and I just wanna nope out. So I got an Android phone and gave the iPhone to someone. I love my apks and don't need to worry about Google-Play shennanigans.
