    just so we’re all clear on one thing, generally frontends still contribute to traffic of the main platform. it’s most likely that using these frontends is still contributing to reddit’s traffic, even if you’re not giving them any semblance of ad revenue.

    if you’re doing this because you don’t want to contribute to the data-mine and don’t want to give them ad money, this is a good tool. if you’re doing this because you don’t want to support reddit, there’s a good chance you’ve been misguided there-- you’ll still contribute to the numbers they show investors at the end of the year.

    please correct me if im wrong

      You’re not wrong but most of the subs I’m referring to only have two or three posts per day. Some have weeks between posts. I check the RSS feeds once a day for new posts. I use Teddit so there are no ads and no tracking by Reddit. All that said I don’t think I’m contributing much, if anything, to Reddit’s pot of cash.
