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.

@Gargron I just deleted several decade+ accounts and I’m seeing many others do it but there’s a stark divide there
@endeavorance Just deleted all my comments and content too. Hard to believe I’d been on the platform in various capacities for nearly a decade, but this feel like the end of Reddit in its current form.
@AaronA_74 @endeavorance I feel that way too--i.e., that it will be the end of Reddit in their current form. I'm really appalled at how their CEO is digging in his heels.
