I have been a daily reddit user since 2008. I had never seen a single Apollo ad or any discussion of Apollo.
Your search results are biased towards what you have browsed on Google.
Also you shouldn't be seeing ads with proper internet hygiene. Ublock origin, no script, vpn if you can. Res will strip out every reddit ad. And I'd highly recommend duck duck go or something more private than Google these days
Most people aren’t even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It’s not that hard.
Apollo was always reddit (i.imgur.com)
I am filled with a sadness at losing Apollo but it will always amuse me that searching reddit showed the apollo app.
I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin
