Gregory's Server@nonproductive @christianselig that’s the point. They’re prepping for ipo so they’re intentionally destroying third party clients. They can’t data mine through third party clients like they can through their own; not to mention their own shows a crap load of ads too.
@ChrisAnemone @christianselig Honestly, if I were forced to use the web or official mobile clients - I’ll just go somewhere else. I spend more time on Reddit than I should, so forced “rehab” will be a good thing.
I know that, like Twitter’s bad decisions, it won’t kill the platform - they’re both too big and too established. But there is no way this doesn’t shrink the active user base by a noticeable amount.
