Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.
In my case I was using a 3rd party app that was only barred from signing in to reddit, but I was still able to read and navigate the website until a few days ago. Now it seems that they have cut that access off so that drove me to create an account here.
