I'm using using a Revanced patched version of RIF is Fun to access Reddit. I have a VPN with ad blockers running. The app doesn't have location permissions. I am getting ads for my city in it. The odd thing is that before the banning of 3rd party Reddit apps, I never got ads on RIF. I'm not only curious how they're finding my location, but if anyone is getting paid for these ads since RIF has officially shut down and it's only usable because of the Revanced patch.
That would make sense. I only participate in 2 subs now that haven't migrated. They aren't local, but I am still subscribed to my city sub, although I haven't participated in it in about a year. I didn't even think about that. I guess it's too late to anything now.
There are 2 subs that I participate in that haven't migrated. One is for an app, and one is for a device. They are very niche and people need a lot of help with them. As of now, Reddit is the only place to get or offer help.
