This seems to be a common theme. Tumblr, Imgur, Onlyfans (tried and walked it back). I am betting this has to do with their credit card processors. They tend to enforce their values/morals on others. It is unfortunate sites just immediately obey and do not fight it.
- deminature 3y agoI doubt the reason is morality, it's to hamstring 3rd party apps so they are baseline inferior to the official client. It's sabotaging the competition so anyone seeking a 'full' reddit experience is forced to use the official client, regardless of whether it is the best app or not.
