    It seems pretty obvious that they are trying to push out 3rd party apps, just like all the other platforms are doing. I understand why the devs are fuming, but I don’t particularly care TBH. Besides the fact that we don’t know what those devs are doing with our location + sensor data they are constantly collecting, they were always running on borrowed time. They made their money, now it’s time to pivot to something else, like any other business.

      Yeah I agree. The strategy is definitely to shut down apps, or make a killing on the ones that do stay.

      What this should also signal to Reddit in general is that their app needs a lot to get to the usability and loyalty gained from 3rd party.
