    Steve might be lying but he said it’s only a minority of users that user third party apps.

    I’m assuming it’s similar to adblock. It’s popular in the comments of reddit, but it’s a small percent of the total users at most.

    On Android, there probably will be a modded official app just like there is for almost anything that has ads.

      I think the reported number was like ≈10% use third party apps.

      The real question is how much of the best content came from those users, how many of them are moderators, and how many will leave. Bc those people will have an outsized impact on the website.

      You can already use Revanced to strip the ads and suggestions out of the official app. It still sucks shit compared to most every 3rd party app.
