Imagine complaining about theoretical lost revenue to 3rd party apps when your business depends on volunteer work.

I found this to be really confusing. On the one hand, they’re losing so much revenue from 3rd party app users. On the other hand, 0.0001% of redditors use 3rd party apps. You can’t have it both ways, spez.

At this point, I think the percentage he gave was a bald faced lie. Older users definitely have a way higher percentage not using the official app

Agreed. Additionally, you couldn’t breath a whisper about the official app without the thread turning into “you don’t know what you’re missing, try x,y,z app!” Which had to encourage more than a few app immigrants

Bots don’t use 3rd party apps.

The crazy part is Reddit had a profit sharing agreement with RIF… and was actually making revenue off it for a while. Then Spez shut it down with little or no negotiation in 2016.
