    You can’t throw out an enormous number like that without further explanation or a source at least. The only post I found on my first Google search is from a reddit post (6 days ago) where it’s said that reddit reports about 5% of its users coming from third party apps.

      Apollo also reported having around 1.2M users while not being a small app at all.

      So with 400M MAU as the lowest possible amount of users, somehow all others 3rd party apps have over 118M users between them?

      I could believe 30% of users being old.reddit ones due to it not being deleted after all those years. But for mobile apps, that 5% quote seems the most realistic.
