It's a shame that we are getting to a place to have an extension for each site to avoid dark patterns. May be just all in one extension just like Greasemonkey.

- Miraste 2y agoIt's unfortunate bordering on ironic that both of these are available only through the App Store.

- RockRobotRock 2y agoI disagree a lot with both the things you said. What arguments are there in favor of stealing bandwidth? I think you're right that initially Imgur was happy to host images for reddit if it drove traffic to their homepage. They don't then "owe" their users who have paid a total of $0 to keep doing that forever if it stops being profitable to them.
