> ”Maybe I’m going to regret this, but I can’t even get to that level of thinking with them,” Huffman said. “Because I look at that app as so fundamentally parasitic, that it’s always listening, the fingerprinting technology they use is truly terrifying, and I could not bring myself to install an app like that on my phone.”
That’s rich coming from the guy who turned Reddit into the Dark Lord of Dark Patterns. Can’t use Reddit web on mobile anymore without 50 nags to install the app, and sometimes it simply won’t load a page until you do. Guarantee they track every last thing you do, every subreddit you visit. Hypocrisy in the extreme.
