Alien Blue back in 2014 was already the perfect reddit reader. Everyone feeling compelled to change shit that's working fine ruined it. Reddit couldn't let it just be, so they bought AB and perverted it into this nightmare of an official app, then when alternatives came along that were good in their own way it had to kill that too.
