I think it would be amusing if Reddit did implode over this. It'd be entirely self-inflicted... The site is only usable with third party apps.

@Gargron I think it’s most likely gonna end up just causing old time users to migrate and they’ll have to pivot to a new target demographic or something.

I mentioned this situation in a few recent videos and I’ve gotten a loooot of comments from people who aren’t even aware of the concept of a 3rd party app. Then, their first instinct is to defend the company’s “right” to only have the proprietary app.

@endeavorance @Gargron I’d even consider that argument if it weren’t for the factvthat Reddits own app is unusable, drains my battery for reasons I don’t get, has halve the features of Apollo and rarelly gets any upgrades. I’m happy to pay for Apollo and I have, but Reddits API pricing is ridiculous and only serves as a “fuck off” not as a geniune service offer.
