    Using the reddit API, you can't get the image URLs of user profile pics without a direct API call to every single user account. I'm assuming each one of those counts as a "query" for their pricing model. The 3rd party developers can't fix an efficiency problem that's literally coming from inside of reddit. What a condescending asshole.

        I literally only browsed on mobile with that and old.reddit.com for the disable inbox and edit comment buttons. The fucking default mobile website loads SO FUCKING SLOWLY. Whatever they're doing is inherently fucked if they want to talk efficiency because it's literally 10x slower, same with the fucking app

            Facebook recently turned off being able to see your messages on the mobile web page. They want you to download messenger app so they can spy or something. You can still do it on the desktop version. Capitalist innovation or something.
