Dear User,

We will soon begin rolling out changes to Reddit’s User settings. It is getting a refresh that includes changes to ad personalization, privacy preferences, and location settings.

As part of these changes, we are retiring a setting that you have previously turned on that limited how we used your activity from the Reddit platform to personalize ads. We have replaced the setting with a new option to select categories of ads that you may not wish to see.

More details are available in our announcement and help center.

These changes are rolling out starting today and you may see the changes over the next few days.

Users will be tracked with no opt out. Posts may be monetized, which will make content even worse No refund or any type of usable credit for users that spent hundreds on Reddit coins The entire vibe has done a 180° since all these new “positive changes” are rolled out.

    Relay also stopped working for me today, so here I am for good now, at least on mobile.

    I hope reddit sinks to the bottom because of their greed.

      I love Relay but I just cannot pay because that supports Reddit. I love Reddit but not the people on top. I hope it sinks.

        You could always try patching the app. I did that with infinity and it works perfectly now.

          How do you go about that?

          In any case, even the paid version Relay Pro includes trackers, so while I miss the UI I’m not too upset that it’s gone.

      Yep same for me. I’ve moved to Red Reader, it’s crap for the UI but at least it will continue to work for the foreseeable.

        For now I’m not gonna move to anything else for Reddit. I’ll use Sync for Lemmy as my daily driver, and I’ll see how it goes.
