Third party apps made reddit what it is. There was no official app when I joined, and without baconreader I probably would never have become a daily user. Then they launch a piece of shit official app that is clearly only designed to separate it’s users from their money. No mod tools, no ADA support, etc. Unfortunately they will survive, but it’ll go the way of Facebook or Twitter or any other social media app that went corporate and become a shell of it’s former self.

So reddit would rather pay hundreds, if not thousands of employees to moderate the site? Seems like a great business decision
