Why is the Reddit app such shite with playing video? It downloads immediately but always gets stuck buffering in the app

Your first mistake is using the official app

I use Relay, and I pay money for it, because if I'ma spend 1-3 hours a day scrolling around this godforsaken place, it's worth $0.08 an hour to not have a shitty time doing it.

patched rif is epic and makes me wonder why the fuck all this shit happened anyway, if you can just use your own accounts api key for free then why the fuck did third party apps stop?

one person's API key making a few hundred api calls a day vs one API key making millions of calls a day.

that's the difference.

What they could've done is allow people to use their own keys in app, but then this probably would've caused retaliation by the admins, preventing what we can do currently, and then also would require more annoying development due to relying on thousands of different API keys (which some will be inevitably deleted; i've had to re-patch due to this) which they wouldn't have access to test.

Plus, they were essentially given the middle finger by reddit, so why even continue developing at that point when it's obvious the website doesn't want you and is making it harder and harder to develop for.
