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

The sole purpose for me using a 3rd party app was finding out you could block subs.

Switched to boost and purged all the right wing bullshit I could find

At the very least, anyone who bothered investigating a 3rd party app for Reddit was probably also bothered enough to post and comment on Reddit too and potentially be a power user. That’s going to be a drain on quality content at the very least.
