    No ads/tracking. That’s really it. Any of the other complaints I had on Reddit are here and in most cases even worse.

    The API issue was the biggest one for me and what made this all intriguing. Now apps are getting around that. Winston for Reddit is beautifully designed and even guides a user to creating their own API key to add to the app. This API key provides you with a limit of 100 requests a second. Which is more than enough. (You could also do this on modded Apollo’s).

    The average user just downloads the Reddit app though.

    Through my Apple Music “New Music” weekly playlist before I canceled my subscription. It does a good job so long as you actively love and dislike tracks.

    Now I have a local library that syncs with last.fm for every play and you can discover new music and artists through there.

    I’m no longer on it but instagram was actually a great way to discover new artists. Seems that meta will be a significant player in the music industry (major UMG deal) soon as well so who knows what’s coming there.
