The 4 years of reddit gold for free was pretty nice. Didn't ever motivate me to spend a dime on gold myself after it expired, but it made reddit slightly more bearable.
I went Alien Blue > Antenna > Narwhal. I think the latter 2 were similar to the original AB. Apollo just felt too cluttered and “extra” to me. I just wanted a minimalist app.
Tried Narwal lately while I ween myself off of Reddit, but I’m not a huge fan. It’s little things, like you can see captions on posts, but it’s got too many little annoyances
