This comment was edited in response to Reddit's API changes in July 2023.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that would kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Also under the new rules, third party Reddit apps cannot run ads, cannot show NSFW content, and are hit with other restrictions.
There are plenty of articles and posts to be found about this if you want to learn more. Here's one post with some information on the matter.
This move will require developers of third party applications to pay enormous sums of money if they wish to stay functional, meaning that said applications will be effectively destroyed. Some third party apps may survive but only with a paid subscription. In the short term, this may have the appearance of increasing Reddit's traffic and revenue... but in the long term, it will undermine the site as a whole.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface. This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
Reddit relies on volunteer moderators to keep its platform welcoming and free of objectionable material. It also relies on uncompensated contributors to populate its numerous communities with content. The above decision promises to adversely impact both groups: Without effective tools (which Reddit has frequently promised and then failed to deliver), moderators cannot combat spammers, bad actors, or the entities who enable either, and without the freedom to choose how and where they access Reddit, many contributors will simply leave. Rather than hosting creativity and in-depth discourse, the platform will soon feature only recycled content, bot-driven activity, and an ever-dwindling number of well-informed visitors. The very elements which differentiate Reddit – the foundations that draw its audience – will be eliminated, reducing the site to another dead cog in the Ennui Engine.

You created your content. You didn't get paid. Why would you leave it here for Reddit to make money or train AIs? Take your content with you. There is no Reddit without its users and volunteer moderators. As they say, "If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product."

At the height of the last craze I think there were at least four frozen yoghurt stores on King St Newtown.
Mate, there were about 10 stores in Strathfield alone during the height of the craze!
I’d wager it was more like 4 per block.
The correct term is FroYo..
I don’t think there will be a return journey, Mr FroYo.

The froghurt contains potassium benzoate.
That’s bad
Can I go now?
But you get your choice of topping
That good!
I never understood how you can see three frozen yoghurt shops open within 100m of each other and think 'you know what i should open up one too right next to them. What could go wrong?' That goes with any other business types too. People don't understand economics and think the more the merrier.
There's like 10 bubble tea places in Cabramatta and more keep opening. Some of them are literally 20-30m apart. They seem to be doing ok.
There’s an interesting reason why that is https://www.forbes.com/sites/sap/2012/05/21/why-gas-stations-are-so-close-to-each-other/amp/
I thought acai was the new wave
I don’t think so, yochi has been this popular in Melbourne for years and there aren’t many other places that have opened it any because of it. Seems like they’ve just expanded to Sydney
Yeah, the Surry Hills store was the first one to open here, but they have recently opened a second location at Macquarie Centre. We definitely do have our fair share of self-serve frozen yoghurt shops, but they definitely are often overshadowed by Yogurberry. Yogurtland was a chain that existed years ago, but the effects of COVID led to the chain’s collapse and most of their locations were converted to Yogurberry stores.
There's one about to open in Newtown as well
“Yogurt” must be one of the ugliest words in English, or any language frankly. “Yogurtland” always sounded like a nightmare to me. “Curdled milk” doesn’t sound a lot better. I kinda wish the brand name Yoplait had stuck as a generic. Nice word. Does anyone remember when tennis broadcasts featured the “yoplait replay”?
No, it’s so busy because it’s the only one around.
hopefully not the... bubble tea! hiyo!
Probably post concert munchies, pretty standard i think
Nah not just today - it's been like this for almost 3 months every night
Maybe the yoghurt is non-fat.
That’s good!

That’s bad.
Can I go now?
Casnegenic?
Another round of strawberry for me and my friends!
Remember the Seinfeld episode on that? Ha!

Must be. Seen many people post-gym in active wear downing 500g of it.
Great vibe on Crown Street tonight ❤️
It’s a great venue! I visited recently and enjoyed heaps of froyo.
ill check it out in 6 months when the line disappears

What inflation!
Wow..is it 2010 again? Groovy.

Esp now that it's winter!
Yup over here in Perth there was a line as long as that Friday night as well
Dang, something happening tonight?
Friday? Lots of vibe in Crown Street.
Makes sense
My mate used to work there and said they used to cum in the yoghurt
Just the salted caramel.
Cringe insta brigade there
It’s interesting to constantly hear about cost of living crisis and housing affordability crisis but this many people can afford frozen yoghurt
It’s Surry hills on a Friday night, younger people with more disposable income. It’s really not that surprising Also it’s frozen yogurt… not like it’s a 5 star restaurant
Ok boomer
Plenty of people are doing just fine
